The Interaction Between the Hybrid and Remote Working Revolution and Maintaining Our Mental Health

Wednesday Mar 29 / 10:35AM BST, Churchill (Ground Fl.)

Abstract

For many professionals within the technology sector, the way in which we work with one another is changing at a phenomenal rate. Whether working remotely or in a hybrid environment, many of us are now interacting within organisational systems that have transformed significantly over the last few years. 

As longer term research on this subject is still in its infancy, what can the available psychological literature tell us about how organisations, groups and individuals should approach hybrid and remote working to ensure mental health and well being (MHWB) is at optimum levels. 

In this presentation, and with the professional technology sector  in mind, we will:

  • Consider how our personality characteristics can influence how we may respond differently to remote / hybrid working environments.
  • Consider models of workplace stress within the context of remote / hybrid work.
  • Consider the critical role of leadership behaviours within the hybrid / remote workplace.
  • Take a closer look at the warning signs and symptoms when burnout is on the horizon.
  • Conclude with a closer overview of how Container Solutions has approached this area and what we have learnt; offering some practical suggestions for how we have prioritised MHWB as a business.
