Abstract

The rapid advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has significantly reshaped modern workplaces by enabling real-time monitoring, automation, and data-driven decision-making. Smart workplaces equipped with interconnected IoT devices such as environmental sensors, safety monitoring systems, and productivity tools have the potential to enhance employee comfort, health, and overall well-being. As organizations increasingly prioritize workforce welfare to improve productivity and retention, understanding the impact of IoT-enabled monitoring becomes essential. This study examines the influence of IoT-based workplace monitoring on employee well-being in Chennai’s IT and corporate sector. The research focuses on key aspects including environmental control, safety management, stress reduction, and productivity enhancement. At the same time, it addresses employee concerns related to privacy, data security, and acceptance of surveillance-based systems. By analyzing employee perceptions and experiences, the study aims to determine whether IoT technologies contribute positively to workplace well-being or are viewed primarily as tools of organizational control. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to implement IoT solutions in a balanced and employee-centric manner.
