AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/31 Report--

SAIC passenger car officials have responded to the report that "in order to improve the work efficiency of employees, human infrared sensors have been installed to monitor employees".

On December 30, netizens revealed that many human body infrared sensors had been installed under the staff desk in the base office of a car company. It is reported that this is used to detect the presence of people on the seat, and even to determine how long employees actually use the station.

Judging from an exposed document, this is the job requirement of the car company after the ninth general manager meeting this year. In order to better arrange the number of seats in the department, the data and Information Systems Department and the Security Department, through the method of data collection, analyze the real utilization rate and work form of each department, and judge the number of stations in the future. The installation area includes the staff station, conference room and collaboration area, and the installation time is December this year.

From the specific information of the exposure documents, the sensor installation collection is to better understand the number of employees within the company, as well as a reasonable arrangement of staff positions. However, from the brief introduction of the human body infrared sensor, we can see that the sensor can also "judge the actual use of the station by intelligent algorithms based on the temperature and movement of the human body."

SAIC passenger cars responded in Zhihu, saying that the company will not and does not approve of managing employees in the above way, and that this time the installation of sensors is for data collection and trial operation, and the trial operation time is expected to be two weeks. it will all be dismantled later.

As for why the sensors are installed, the passenger car said, "because we plan to transform part of the office environment to share offices and increase the office space for small meetings and relative development." The use status of the shared office area is displayed in a way similar to the parking lot indication system, so that it is convenient for employees to make an appointment. "

The official response is to better meet the need for employees to share the office, which also means that in addition to the shared area, the group will not be the traditional one-by-one office, using a more innovative shared appointment. In this regard, some netizens speculated that the group will change (smaller) offices in order to achieve cost control? Some netizens think that SAIC should focus on how to adjust its performance.
