London Law Expo – Digital Technology is Shifting the Psychology of How We Work

24 May 2022 (In Person -133 Houndsditch, London) 

Digital Technology is Shifting the Psychology of How We Work

Since the rise of mobile technology, working patterns and workplace expectations have shifted. 

The digital, hybrid environment that we now operate in, is evolving the norms that once persisted within the workplace. In order to understand what needs to change, we need to recognising what and how employee psychology and engagement with digital work has evolved, and how this affects employee’s productivity and engagement with work, both now and going forward. 

In this presentation Carolyn Freeman draws on psychological workplace research both pre and post Covid-19 lockdowns. She highlights how digital technology has impacted us both individually and professionally, how it affects how we do our work, how it impacts our psychological wellbeing, and what we can do about it. 

The talk includes:

•How digital media affects employee’s attention, focus, productivity and engagement,
•The impact of personality on our ability to effectively work in a hybrid workplace,
•How digital and hybrid work will become increasingly at odds with the ‘old school’ workplace norms and expectations
•What remote and hybrid work impacts our psychological wellbeing, and what we can do about it.
