DR. MARK WILLIAMS
The COVID-19 pandemic and the many associated lockdowns meant that many businesses had to transition to remote work.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the many associated lockdowns meant that many businesses had to transition to remote work.
At the same time, travel restrictions and fears of transmission meant that we all needed to use technology more than ever before.
As a result, there has been an increase in stress, social anxiety and other mental health issues. While many people are keen to retain some of the flexibility gained from new “normal”, we need to be aware of the many potential pitfalls associated with working remotely.
Our modern lifestyle and constantly evolving technology plays havoc with our habits and routines. Many modern devices are designed to capture our attention and drive us to distraction. They are ‘hacking’ our normal social behaviour. This is affecting productivity, resilience, curiosity, creativity, innovation and mental health. With businesses setting up hybrid working options and people trying to return to normal, we need to understand and appreciate why working from home can have some negative impacts on our health and wellbeing.
What will be covered?
In an informative and challenging presentation, Mark will cover:
- Why socialising is so important for humans
- The impact of isolation on our brains and our resilience
- How modern technology affects our brains
- Why good habits and patterns improve our productivity and health
- How to get your time and productivity back
He will discuss many helpful tips and strategies that we can all easily implement to establish good habits in our lives and feel better about spending time with colleagues.
