Should a workplace attempt to dictate the private life of it's employees?

It is not a good thing for an employers to do this. The only thing that they can do is to implement their standard rules in the company.

There is something called privacy. I once left a job because I was asked to work on weekend. I was with my kid and spouse and I refused.

It would not be right for employers to dictate the private life of their employees. This is just because doing so is infringement on their fundamental human rights..

The company should not meddle in the personal lives of its employees. It has no right to interfere with their personal matters.

Employer has no right to interfere with the private life of an employee unless one is invited . if not they should stay off

I do not think it is very proper for employers to dictate the private life of their staffs. The employees should be allowed to have their private lives..

A workplace should never attempt to detect the private life of employees. It is called *private life" for a reason. Employees should be free to live the kind of life they want outside the workplace.

An employee is first of all an adult and you should not be dictating the private life of an adult as long as it doesn't affect the work.

It is not necessary for a business organization to try to control the personal lives of their employees. That might turn out to be toxic.

True. It could not be absolutely necessary for employers to look into the private life of their employees. It could make them not to give their best on the job.

The only condition that I can allow a workplace to dictate my life is when they give me food and pay my accommodation.

This can only happen if the private life is having an effect on their performance in the company, besides that there is no reason for the company to detect their personal life.

Employees are adults and invasion of the private lives of an adult is a violation and can be prosecuted for damages under the law.

The workplace should not dictate the private life of their employees. Rather they should be more concerned about the workplace productivity of their employees through adequate training and more supervision. All staffs should have their private life..
