LISTEN On this week’s episode of Tech Talk Radio, EG tech and global reporter Lucy Alderson sits down with Karin Moser, professor of organisational behaviour at London South Bank University Business School, to talk about how remote working and our intense use of technology to keep businesses running is impacting on our mental health.
Moser led research in which 102 UK employees were surveyed on their working-from-home practices during the first coronavirus lockdown. The research concluded that remote working could “harm employee wellbeing at work, if left unregulated”, with employees experiencing tiredness or “Zoom fatigue”.
So if working from home has taken its toll on our mental health, what does this mean for the future of the office? And what steps can employers take to avoid video call fatigue?
