NLA Virtual Meet Ups: how to survive the tech burnout

Networking

Wednesday 07 April 2021
16:00 - 17:30

Join a networking session led by digital wellbeing and management expert Laura Willis. You will  learn how to improve your digital habits and have the opportunity to meet new people across the NLA network. 
Inboxes pinging, live chats streaming, social media and news notifications coming through, the mind of the modern-day desk-based worker is very different to that of their pre-smartphone and email predecessors. Digital technology has brought so much benefit to working lives, and has indeed been a hero during the Coronavirus pandemic, but when not well managed it can become a toxic cause of stress and impact our ability to do our best work, our sleep, relationships and our mental health.
 
Join digital wellbeing and management expert, and Shine Offline co-founder, Laura Willis for this interactive session where she will discuss what we can all do to improve our digital habits to protect our performance at work, ability to rest and potential for collaboration in today's always on, remote working world. Laura will share tangible tools and tips for you to make to your digital behaviour as well as talk about collective change and what organisations can do to move towards having a healthier digital workplace culture.
 
Attendees will be then split into smaller groups in separate ‘zoom rooms’ to continue the discussion and share ideas.
