why techtimeout tuesday?
Technology is a vital part of most workplaces but it’s important we understand the impact it can have on employee wellbeing.
In a recent survey, 75% of workers agreed that restricting the use of screens would help them to better manage their mental health.
Excessive screen time has been linked to poor physical and mental employee health and can impact workplace communication, productivity, job satisfaction, and staff retention.
After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, techtimeout tuesday lands at the perfect moment for some time offline.
TESTIMONIALS
what are people saying
We truly believe in the benefits of techtimeout, but don’t just take our word for it.
“So much of our time both at work and at home is spent on phones and computers, with notifications popping up here, there, and everywhere. Technology has so much power for good, but only if we also know how to step away from it and give our brain and body the chance to both enjoy the power of connection with people, nature, and rest.
At MHFA England®, we are proudly paving the way for positive mental health in the workplace, and as part of our approach to wellbeing we will be partnering with techtimeout to host this year's digital wellbeing day ‘techtimeout tuesday’ on 28 November to encourage improvements in our digital habits, and we'll be encouraging our network of Mental Health First Aiders to get involved too."
