IMPROVE DIGITAL WELLBEING
Hey there!
We will meet (again) in the workshop ‘Take Control’. In this workshop you’ll learn to recognize and prevent various techno-stressors. Techno-what? Read along..
While technology offers you a lot of freedom, it can also greatly limit you. Working from home, collaborating on the same document simultaneously, communicating without any delay: delightful. However, constant distractions leading to less focus, overstimulation, and the feeling that work never stops: less enjoyable.
One thing is certain: technology is here to stay. You can’t escape it, but you can learn to manage it better.
In this workshop, you’ll discover how to overcome overload, restore your productivity, and achieve a better work-life balance. In short, you’ll learn how to improve your digital wellbeing so that you can regain control over your day.
To make sure we understand your challenges properly (before we start), we ask you to answer 3 short questions.
Did you miss the kick-off webinar or had to leave earlier? Or maybe you want to zoom in on a tip or trick one more time as a refresh? No worries!
We made a recording of the webinar. You can watch it here.
Should we never contact anyone outside of working hours? ❌ That’s the big question right now.
A recent study shows that as many as 6 out of 10 employees are contacted by their manager outside of working hours.
And this is a year after the introduction of the ‘right to disconnect.’
So, what should we conclude from this?
Let’s flip it around for a moment. How many people are never involved in personal matters during work hours? No social media, no quick load of laundry at home?
Such people do exist. We call them ‘separators’: they prefer a strict separation between work and personal life.
The so-called ‘integrators’ prefer to blend these two life spheres in whatever way suits them best. With the risk, of course, that they find it harder to relax outside official working hours if they don’t pay enough attention to it.
(Of course, this is a continuum and not a black-and-white story.)
Now, coming back to the figures from the study: it would be good if they decreased. But ‘0’ is not the goal here. Because then you’re also asking ‘integrators’ to change who they are and how they approach (work) life.
A crucial condition for this, however, is that there are clear agreements about communication within the team. For example: “No calls or WhatsApp messages outside working hours, only emails,” and “Internal emails should be answered within 24 hours.”
How do you handle this within your team? Curious to hear how things work for you in the session!
