What is Digital Wellbeing
and Technostress?
01
d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s
This initial topic will highlight what
digital wellness is, and how it can
impact you as a worker, but also the
impact on an organisation. Towards
the second part of this first topic we
will then cover the concept of
technostress, that is the positive and
negative effects that technology can
have on our day-to-day working life.
What to Expect in This Topic?

Digital wellbeing is a term used to describe the
impact of technologies and digital services on
people's mental, physical, social and
emotional health.
Nowadays, many jobs and everyday activities
rely on the internet and digital devices.
The goal of digital wellness (for the users of
these technologies) is to promote healthy
habits and assist the users in maintaining a
healthy lifestyle in their daily life.
Introduction to Digital
Wellbeing
d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s
For example, common digital wellness
practices include implementing screen
time limits, wearing blue-light-
blocking glasses to alleviate eyestrain,
and muting notifications on mobile
devices to prevent constant
interruptions.
What is Digital Wellbeing?
digital wellbeing for enterprises
Digital wellbeing can be viewed from a variety of perspectives and
across different contexts and situations:
What is Digital Wellbeing?
Individual perspective
Personal, learning and work contexts: this involves
identifying and understanding the positive benefits
and any potential negative aspects of engaging with
digital activities and being aware of ways to manage
and control these to improve wellbeing.
Societal or organisational perspective
Providers of digital systems, services and content
have a responsibility for ensuring that these are
well managed, supported, accessible and equitable.
They also need to empower and build capability in
users so that all who engage with them are
equipped to do so in a way that supports and/or
improves their wellbeing.
d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s
Increased use of technology that is
directly linked to mental health issues
and disturbance in the human
behavior.
Excessive use of technology at
workplace, that is associated with
burnout, suggesting that employers
should adopt tools and practices that
moderate technology usage to
promote healthier life and work.

Stronger employee engagement and
higher productivity:
The average business worker uses more than 9
different applications to get work done. By
promoting digital wellness through digital
workspace technologies that encourage focus
and reduce distraction, organizations can
reduce worker exhaustion and improve
employee engagement and productivity.

Improved employee satisfaction:
More than 84 percent of employees identify
better work/life balance as essential to job
satisfaction, and digital wellness is an
important element of this balance. By
adopting digital wellbeing practices like
unplugged whitespace time and flexible work
arrangements, organizations can improve
satisfaction in their workforce.

Better health outcome:
A lack of attention to digital wellness can lead
to tech addiction, which is associated with
higher stress levels and anxiety. If workers face
burnout from excessive use of technology, they
are more likely to take sick days and be less
confident at work. By focusing on digital
wellbeing, employees can alleviate these risks
and enjoy better mental and physical health
outcomes.

Technostress is a type of stress that is caused
by the rapid changes in technology and
occurs as a result of the inability to meet the
changing competencies.
When an individual cannot cope with
technology related demands in the
environment, the demands may be perceived
as techno-overload, techno-uncertainties,
techno-insecurity, techno-invasion, and
techno- complexity.

A large consumption of technology is
responsible for technostress. When we start
relying too much on technology, then there
comes a time when that technology retaliates
back to us with its vulnerability and leaves us
with negative effects like technostress.
Technostress exists in two ways, either people
have a hard time accepting new technologies,
or people over-hype new technologies and
start depending too much on them. In both
cases, they fall prey to Technostress.

Digital overload is an overwhelming
feeling that comes from being
constantly connected to, and constantly
bombarded by, digital platforms and
notifications.
Your brain only has a certain amount of
cognitive capacity to think analytically,
remember information and focus for
long periods of time may be impaired.
You may struggle with mental resilience
and be less creative if you are digitally
overloaded.

Loss of control of your day-to-day life.
When you use technology, a pleasure
chemical called dopamine gets released
in the brain. All modern technology is
designed to create this response. This
can cause addiction to digital
technologies.
Digital overload can also greatly
impact your mental health, increasing
stress, anxiety and depression as digital
lives expand. Less face-to-face
interaction, increased inactivity, poor
in-person communication skills and an
overall distrust amongst people.
Impacts of digital overload
d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s
You might recognize some of the below digital behaviour that can deteriorate your
wellbeing:
Internet addiction – shopping online, playing video games, checking Facebook, blogs,
videos, social media
Time wasting - spending too much time scrolling, spending less time living in the real
world and enjoying interacting with people, exercising etc.
Compulsive checking and compelled to social media, becoming addicted and spending
most of your time online
Acting like automatons – acting like we have to respond immediately
Phantom pocket vibrations – perceiving non-existent notifications from smartphones
Google effect – in the always connected world, people are less likely to recall
information as easily if they think they can look it up
Behaviour that may lead to digital overload

“Technostress”, has become
one of the most common
terms used in the present
digital world. Due to the
drastic change in the
working environment,
employees are having a
tough time to adapt to the
increase in the digital usage
and to cope up with the
stress caused by technology.
It is the responsibility of the
organization to focus on the
digital well- being of the
employees and educate
them how to overcome the
digital stress.
Technostress
Employees are increasingly confronted with
new stresses in the workplace due to the
compulsion to adapt to sudden increase of
digital usage which has result in digital stress
among employees. To address this concern, a
company decided to analyze and evaluate the
stress level of employees by helping them
record it. They also came up with relevant
solutions to overcome the stress and balance
work and life.
digital wellbeing for enterprises
Employees are more likely to develop Technostress due to the demand to use new
technologies more than usual.
The digital wellbeing of employees is important, and by balancing their work life,
the employees can live a stress-free life.
The first step to overcome “Technostress” is to understand, analyze and evaluate
the problems that the employees are facing in the companies.
Due to the more individualized work situations, a successful interaction of company
and individual preventive action is becoming more and more important. While
many employees privately use smart watches and apps for health, fitness and
lifestyle, there has been a lack of web-based offers that are linked to occupational
safety and health management. The Balance Guard project builds on this.
Introduction to the Balance Guard Project
digital wellbeing for enterprises
Goal:
The main aim of this project is to understand the problems of the employees and
find a solution to the cause.
To meet the goal, a web-based assistance system was developed and tested for
holistic stress monitoring and healthy work.
With the help of this assistance system, employees were able to continuously
record their work loads and demands. It visualizes processes and connections of
health-relevant characteristics of the work situation and gives the users individual
recommendations for the healthy organization of their work as well as for their
recovery and the expansion of their resources.
SOURCE
Goals of the Balance Guard Project
digital wellbeing for enterprises
Result:
The assistance system developed together with the interdisciplinary network
partners is embedded in an intervention setting right from the start: guidelines,
advice and qualification offers regulate and accompany the operational use, initiate
collective learning processes and support organizational and personnel
development in the companies using it. Through the use of new technologies,
Balance Guard succeeds in linking individual and company prevention strategies -
and thereby strengthening occupational safety and health management. The digital
wellbeing of the employees were taken care which in return resulted in better
productivity.

There are several questions you can ask yourself when trying to work out how digitally
overloaded your workplace might be. Ask yourself:
• Do you feel like you are able to speak honestly about issues that affect you in the
workplace?
• How satisfied are you with the amount of control and involvement you have over the
work you do?
• Is the number of meetings you are expected to attend getting in the way of my ability
to do my work?
• Do you feel burnout because of your work?
• Does your work frustrate you?
• Do you feel that every working hour is tiring for you?

While is it very easy to focus on the
negatives of digital technologies, they are
a crucial part of modern-day life. Most of
us will use multiple digital technologies
throughout our day-to-day tasks.
It is important to equip ourselves with the
correct understanding of the dangers of
digital technology, but it is also important
to have techniques and methods to
ensure that we can continue using digital
technologies in a safe way.
Lets take a closer look at some of the
negative effects of digital technology use
and how to avoid them.

Digital Distraction is when you use a digital
device (smartphone, laptop, tablet) whilst
you engage in another activity.
It occurs when digital devices are used for
activities unrelated to class time or work
time. This often includes text messaging,
emailing, web-surfing, using social media,
and playing games.
Due to the digitalization that the pandemic
brought on, it is easy to slip into the habit
of checking your phone while working or in
a class.

One of the best ways of managing digital
distraction is to temporarily disconnect
from technology, which leads to fewer
digital distractions.
While the ability to multitask is seen as a
positive trait for many, it is also a major
source of digitally-induced stress that can
be controlled, once we have gotten into the
habit of taking breaks.
Let’s take a look at some research
conducted in the US to help manage digital
distraction.
Managing Digital Distraction

Here are some surprising findings from research conducted to help workers with
digital distraction:
• 20% of employees want their employer to help them control their digital
distraction during work.
• 25% of industrial workers want their employer to help them with this.
• More than 50% of employees who were working from home due to COVID say that
they spend even more time than they used to during work hours socializing with
family and friends via social media, text, email, and calls.
• The average person at their workplace spends 2.6 hours each workday accessing
digital content that is unrelated to their job​

An Attention span is the time a person
can focus on a task before they feel the
need for a break or get distracted.
This amount of time can vary on the
person. It is difficult to pin down an exact
amount of time for each person’s
attention span, as it can depend on the
complexity of the task, and the natural
cognitive abilities of each person.
Ensuring that your workers can do their
daily work without getting distracted can
improve productivity, and help to
alleviate symptoms of burnout and
stress.

Digital technology impacts the attention
span in several different ways.
Information recall- using internet search
engines can lead to poorer recall of
information. Most researchers agree that
in such situations it is not that memory
becomes less effective, just that we use it
differently.
Potential other harmful effects of
extensive screen time and technology use
include heightened attention-deficit
symptoms, impaired emotional and social
intelligence, technology addiction, social
isolation, impaired brain development,
and disrupted sleep.

These are few suggestions on how to
improve the attention span of your
workers:
Practice attentive listening. One way we
can stretch and hone our attention span
is to practice active, attentive listening.
This helps focus the mind’s ability to
receive and absorb information.
Devote more time to reading. Another
way to hone our mind’s ability to
concentrate is by attentive reading.
Physical activity. One other way to
increase our attention span is to get
moderate levels of exercise.

Consider this situation–
There is a client meeting in the next half
an hour, and the data is still not ready. We
are aware of the number of reports that
need to be prepared yet your employee
may find it difficult to complete the task.
In fact, you may notice some employees
are never able to complete the day's tasks
before it is wrap-up time.
If this is what is experienced regularly,
your workers may have a problem
focusing and concentrating at work.

Lack of concentration leads to the
inability to meet deadlines, increased
work pressure and thereby increased
stress and ill health. There could be
many reasons why employees lose focus.
An assessment of these causes may help
us focus and enhance our productivity at
work.
Very often, stress may be the reason
behind their inability to concentrate.
There may be many things on our
mind preventing us from concentrating
properly.

Firstly, organization is key. Set a priority
list of work, plan schedules beforehand
and attend to each task one by one.
Try not to multitask at such times. Instead,
get employees to concentrate on the most
important job, finish it and then move to
the next task. This way, no job is kept for
the last minute.
If employees are still struggling to stay
focused, or are getting distracted, it may
benefit to mentor employees for a short
time to ensure that they understand how
they can complete their workload without
losing focus.

Multitasking seems like a great way to get a
lot done at once, but research has shown
that our brains are not nearly as good at
handling multiple tasks as we like to think
they are.
In fact, some research suggests that
multitasking can hamper our productivity
by reducing our comprehension, attention,
and overall performance.
People who multitask are more distractible,
and they may have trouble focusing their
attention even when they're not working
on multiple tasks at once

Telefonica group is a global and digital
company specialising in the
communications sector. Telefonica is a large
organization which operates in 12
countries, with an average of 113,182
employees.
They were an early adapter to remote and
telework, adopting it as early as 2015.
Since 2015, the acceptance of tele/remote
work is very high, as evident by the staff
surveys carried out both with workers and
those with managerial responsibilities.
This case study focuses on the Spanish
segment of Telefonica, and how they have
signed up for a policy pertaining to the
“Right to Disconnect” of employees.
Telefonica
The “Right to Disconnect” is a
proposed human right regarding
the ability of people to
disconnect from work and
primarily not to engage in work
related electronic
communications such as e-mails
or messages during non-working
hours.
In Spain, the R2D was first
introduced in the Organic Law OL
3/2018, on 3rd December, for
personal data protection and
guarantee of digital rights.
Right
To
Disconnect
digital wellbeing for enterprises
In Spain, Telefonica group is made up of 20 companies, out of which three large companies
are linked by the same collective agreement. The collective agreement of these three
companies acts as an example or the rest of the companies of the Telefonica Group, and
also for other Telecom companies, that aims to achieve the same labour and wage
conditions.
Before the COVID-19 Crisis, 15% of staff used to have a specific telework contract with
specific conditions for remote work in each case. However, during the pandemic the level of
staff working from home increased by up to 95% of the employees as they were asked to
work from home due to safety concerns and the pandemic.
Though the company was already prepared to deal with the challenges involved in massive
telework, they faced some challenges at the start of the health crisis like employee
dissatisfaction to work overtime and digital stress.
Introduction
digital wellbeing for enterprises
The main concern was the risk of excessive connection facilitated by digitalization and
globalization for the balance between work and personal life, for workers’ physical and
mental health, well-being of employees and potential issues for productivity.
The use, avoidance and abuse of corporate digital devices and services (such as excess
phone and email use) was another source of concern. The company had a facility to record
and monitor the working hours of employees that work from office which helped the
employees track their working hours and take breaks at regular intervals.
However, when employees started to work from home, they were not able to record their
working hours which led to a difficulty in establishing a proper work/life balance. As
workers were not able to separate work time from their personal lives, it led to negative
effects of technology use such as burnout, working unpaid overtime and exposing
themselves to too much screentime.
Overview of the Problem
digital wellbeing for enterprises
Telefonica recognised the necessity for workers “right to disconnect” and committed to
promote measures to guarantee adequate rest, such as awareness raising programs and
training for managers and the rest of the employees.
This approach adopted in Telefonica towards the implementation of the right to disconnect
is based on flexibility supported by technology and the two main results are
• Growth of the business focused on digitalization, sustainability and increased
productivity.
• Increased balance between professional and personal life in order to ensure the well-
being of employees.
Intervention
digital wellbeing for enterprises
The company already has a system to record the working hours of employees working from
the office. The result of this was that they invented a new system called “Success Factor”.
Success Factor is an internal IT tool that records and monitors among many other things,
working hours, thus detecting if an employee is working too long without breaks.
The managers were also given adequate training on how to maintain the mental health of
the employees and the importance of this.
Implementation
digital wellbeing for enterprises
All the employees working in the company are enrolled in this tool.
The benefits of this tool are:
• The employees can record their working hours.
• Each employee is registered with a standard work schedule.
• Flexibility in work time is allowed.
• The number of working days can be recorded.
Through these benefits, overtime is explicitly limited in the company since it must
be authorized in writing by superiors.
Benefits of The Success Factor
digital wellbeing for enterprises
• Employees now have the right to disconnect from work outside of working hours.
• Employees are now able to easily differentiate between their work and personal
lives.
• Employees cannot be forced to reply to official emails and phone calls outside of
regular working hours.
• Employees can send an official mail if they wish to take holiday leave.
Impact of the Implementation and Conclusions
digital wellbeing for enterprises
Through this Case Study we have identified the importance of the right to disconnect and
how it helps employees maintain their physical and mental health.
These methods help to ensure that the employees take care of their mental wellbeing,
reduce technostress, and have an improved work/life balance.
As Digital Crossroads aims to train the SME managers in employee well-being, this case
study can be taken as an example on the importance of educating managers on digital
stress.

Take a look at how much time you spend on your device!
Do this by looking at your digital wellbeing app associated with your smartphone. For
both Android and iOS users, it can be found in your settings.
Have a look at how long you spend on each app. Does this information surprise you?
Is some of the time spent on apps wasted? How do you think you could reduce some
of the time you have spent on unnecessary apps? How much of the time spent on
these apps was related to work versus personal usage?
Exercise -1
Find out your digital usage
d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s
In the past week, think about the following questions for a few minutes, and write
down a few sentences in response to this. This can be completed as a solo exercise
or as a group.
• Think about a time when technology supported you, and hindered your ability to
work. (If you need help with this, try taking a look at your phone’s digital
wellbeing app to see how long you spent on certain apps)
• What would you change about your digital usage in the last week?
• Do you feel in control of your digital technology use in work?
Exercise -2
Think about your own and your worker’s Technology use
d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s
• How can your organisation support and protect a worker's focus from unwanted
disruptions?
• How do we help people stay focused on a single task?
• How could we encourage intentional technology use?
• How might we support in-person presence when it’s needed for?
• How could we encourage workers together online at the right place and time?
• How can our organisation support boundaries between work and personal life?
Exercise -2
Think about your own and your worker’s Technology use

When we start relying too much on technology, then there comes a time when that technology retaliates back to us with its vulnerability and leaves us with negative effects like technostress. Technostress exists in two ways, either people have a hard time accepting new technologies, or people over-hype new technologies and start depending too much on them. In both cases, they fall prey to Technostress. What causes technostress? Source

  • 20. digital wellbeing for enterprises Employees are more likely to develop Technostress due to the demand to use new technologies more than usual. The digital wellbeing of employees is important, and by balancing their work life, the employees can live a stress-free life. The first step to overcome “Technostress” is to understand, analyze and evaluate the problems that the employees are facing in the companies. Due to the more individualized work situations, a successful interaction of company and individual preventive action is becoming more and more important. While many employees privately use smart watches and apps for health, fitness and lifestyle, there has been a lack of web-based offers that are linked to occupational safety and health management. The Balance Guard project builds on this. Introduction to the Balance Guard Project

Lets take a closer look at some of the negative effects of digital technology use and how to avoid them. Equipping Ourselves Against The Negatives Of Technology.
  • 31. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s Digital Distraction is when you use a digital device (smartphone, laptop, tablet) whilst you engage in another activity. It occurs when digital devices are used for activities unrelated to class time or work time. This often includes text messaging, emailing, web-surfing, using social media, and playing games. Due to the digitalization that the pandemic brought on, it is easy to slip into the habit of checking your phone while working or in a class. Digital Distraction
  • 32. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s One of the best ways of managing digital distraction is to temporarily disconnect from technology, which leads to fewer digital distractions. While the ability to multitask is seen as a positive trait for many, it is also a major source of digitally-induced stress that can be controlled, once we have gotten into the habit of taking breaks. Let’s take a look at some research conducted in the US to help manage digital distraction. Managing Digital Distraction

  • 35. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s An Attention span is the time a person can focus on a task before they feel the need for a break or get distracted. This amount of time can vary on the person. It is difficult to pin down an exact amount of time for each person’s attention span, as it can depend on the complexity of the task, and the natural cognitive abilities of each person. Ensuring that your workers can do their daily work without getting distracted can improve productivity, and help to alleviate symptoms of burnout and stress. What is an Attention Span?
  • 36. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s Digital technology impacts the attention span in several different ways. Information recall- using internet search engines can lead to poorer recall of information. Most researchers agree that in such situations it is not that memory becomes less effective, just that we use it differently. Potential other harmful effects of extensive screen time and technology use include heightened attention-deficit symptoms, impaired emotional and social intelligence, technology addiction, social isolation, impaired brain development, and disrupted sleep. Digital Technology and Attention Span
  • 37. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s These are few suggestions on how to improve the attention span of your workers: Practice attentive listening.

Improving Attention Span in Workers
  • 38. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s Consider this situation– There is a client meeting in the next half an hour, and the data is still not ready. We are aware of the number of reports that need to be prepared yet your employee may find it difficult to complete the task. In fact, you may notice some employees are never able to complete the day's tasks before it is wrap-up time. If this is what is experienced regularly, your workers may have a problem focusing and concentrating at work. Loss Of Focus
  • 39. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s Lack of concentration leads to the inability to meet deadlines, increased work pressure and thereby increased stress and ill health. There could be many reasons why employees lose focus. An assessment of these causes may help us focus and enhance our productivity at work. Very often, stress may be the reason behind their inability to concentrate. There may be many things on our mind preventing us from concentrating properly. Stress and Loss of Focus
  • 40. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s Firstly, organization is key. Set a priority list of work, plan schedules beforehand and attend to each task one by one. Try not to multitask at such times. Instead, get employees to concentrate on the most important job, finish it and then move to the next task. This way, no job is kept for the last minute. If employees are still struggling to stay focused, or are getting distracted, it may benefit to mentor employees for a short time to ensure that they understand how they can complete their workload without losing focus. How to Manage a Loss of Focus
  • 41. d i g i t a l w e l l b e i n g f o r e n t e r p r i s e s Multitasking seems like a great way to get a lot done at once, but research has shown that our brains are not nearly as good at handling multiple tasks as we like to think they are. In fact, some research suggests that multitasking can hamper our productivity by reducing our comprehension, attention, and overall performance. People who multitask are more distractible, and they may have trouble focusing their attention even when they're not working on multiple tasks at once Multitasking

  • 47. digital wellbeing for enterprises Telefonica group is a global and digital company specialising in the communications sector. Telefonica is a large organization which operates in 12 countries, with an average of 113,182 employees. They were an early adapter to remote and telework, adopting it as early as 2015. Since 2015, the acceptance of tele/remote work is very high, as evident by the staff surveys carried out both with workers and those with managerial responsibilities. This case study focuses on the Spanish segment of Telefonica, and how they have signed up for a policy pertaining to the “Right to Disconnect” of employees. Telefonica The “Right to Disconnect” is a proposed human right regarding the ability of people to disconnect from work and primarily not to engage in work related electronic communications such as e-mails or messages during non-working hours. In Spain, the R2D was first introduced in the Organic Law OL 3/2018, on 3rd December, for personal data protection and guarantee of digital rights. Right To Disconnect
  • 48. digital wellbeing for enterprises In Spain, Telefonica group is made up of 20 companies, out of which three large companies are linked by the same collective agreement. The collective agreement of these three companies acts as an example or the rest of the companies of the Telefonica Group, and also for other Telecom companies, that aims to achieve the same labour and wage conditions. Before the COVID-19 Crisis, 15% of staff used to have a specific telework contract with specific conditions for remote work in each case. However, during the pandemic the level of staff working from home increased by up to 95% of the employees as they were asked to work from home due to safety concerns and the pandemic. Though the company was already prepared to deal with the challenges involved in massive telework, they faced some challenges at the start of the health crisis like employee dissatisfaction to work overtime and digital stress. Introduction
  • 49. digital wellbeing for enterprises The main concern was the risk of excessive connection facilitated by digitalization and globalization for the balance between work and personal life, for workers’ physical and mental health, well-being of employees and potential issues for productivity. The use, avoidance and abuse of corporate digital devices and services (such as excess phone and email use) was another source of concern. The company had a facility to record and monitor the working hours of employees that work from office which helped the employees track their working hours and take breaks at regular intervals. However, when employees started to work from home, they were not able to record their working hours which led to a difficulty in establishing a proper work/life balance. As workers were not able to separate work time from their personal lives, it led to negative effects of technology use such as burnout, working unpaid overtime and exposing themselves to too much screentime. Overview of the Problem
  • 50. digital wellbeing for enterprises Telefonica recognised the necessity for workers “right to disconnect” and committed to promote measures to guarantee adequate rest, such as awareness raising programs and training for managers and the rest of the employees. This approach adopted in Telefonica towards the implementation of the right to disconnect is based on flexibility supported by technology and the two main results are • Growth of the business focused on digitalization, sustainability and increased productivity. • Increased balance between professional and personal life in order to ensure the well- being of employees. Intervention
  • 51. digital wellbeing for enterprises The company already has a system to record the working hours of employees working from the office. The result of this was that they invented a new system called “Success Factor”. Success Factor is an internal IT tool that records and monitors among many other things, working hours, thus detecting if an employee is working too long without breaks. The managers were also given adequate training on how to maintain the mental health of the employees and the importance of this. Implementation
  • 52. digital wellbeing for enterprises All the employees working in the company are enrolled in this tool. The benefits of this tool are: • The employees can record their working hours. • Each employee is registered with a standard work schedule. • Flexibility in work time is allowed. • The number of working days can be recorded. Through these benefits, overtime is explicitly limited in the company since it must be authorized in writing by superiors. Benefits of The Success Factor
  • 53. digital wellbeing for enterprises • Employees now have the right to disconnect from work outside of working hours. • Employees are now able to easily differentiate between their work and personal lives. • Employees cannot be forced to reply to official emails and phone calls outside of regular working hours. • Employees can send an official mail if they wish to take holiday leave. Impact of the Implementation and Conclusions
  • 54. digital wellbeing for enterprises Through this Case Study we have identified the importance of the right to disconnect and how it helps employees maintain their physical and mental health. These methods help to ensure that the employees take care of their mental wellbeing, reduce technostress, and have an improved work/life balance. As Digital Crossroads aims to train the SME managers in employee well-being, this case study can be taken as an example on the importance of educating managers on digital stress. Conclusions
