If you want to prevent users from copying stuff to their USB drives the best way would be to force a group policy that prevents USB devices from working on local machines. There is no easy way of monitoring file transfer activity via script. What you appear
to be looking for is software which monitors your employees.
What you can do is list the USB Devices that have been attached to the system:
   Push-Location      
   Set-Location HKLM:\
   $devices = Get-Item 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR\*\*'
   Get-ItemProperty $devices |   
      Select-Object -Property @{Name='SerialNumber';Expression={$_.PSChildName.TrimEnd('&0').split('&')[-1]}}, FriendlyName,Class
   Pop-Location
