I would disagree that the kind of data being talked about lends itself to misuse. Management in general, and especially in well run companies, tends to be responsible and judicious in their use of various metrics and getting a good, holistic view of employee interactions and engagements is vital to ensuring that high performers are identified and adequately mentored.
Ideally, this type of data could be paired with a sentiment analysis engine and an emotional identifying model that could help coach negative employees toward more positive and beneficial interactions. This is an area that would require a delicate balance to prevent misuse, but, given most HR departments hesitance to act without strong background information, it would likely be a net positive in nearly every case.'scuse me I need to go wash my mouth with soap. I just gamed the metrics that would be produced with this and I feel dirty.
