A CRISP researcher has been recognised as a winner in the Research Impact category at the AACSB International Global Impact Awards. AACSB stands for the Association to Advance Colleges and Schools of Business and is a global accrediting body for Business Schools. 

The research was authored by Kirstie Ball, CRISP St Andrews. Entitled 'Workplace Surveillance Reform' it has influenced how organisations, regulators and policymakers respond to the rapid expansion of digital monitoring in the workplace. 

Kirstie's work draws on a major study commissioned by the European Commission that examines how monitoring technologies affect trust, autonomy and wellbeing at work and translates those findings into practical guidance for policymakers, employers and worker organisations.

This research has informed consultation responses to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, contributing to updated guidance on employee monitoring published in October 2023. It has also supported trade union campaigns and wider European discussions on data protection and algorithmic management.

St Andrews have made a short video about the research. There is more information about it on the AACSB website
