As long as the recorder is recording conversations that she is a party to.

Re: recording conversations at work
Generally people have a reasonable expectation of privacy, unless they are speaking in public.
If you record something in an improper fashion, wait to see if you need to use it, before announcing the fact that it is recorded.
For a one on one conversation you should inform the other person it is being recorded, ask for their consent, or at the very least have the recorder in plain sight.
