Event Sponsor


Increased screen time, expectations of being “always-on and available”, digital distractions, and techno-stress are adversely affecting employee health and well-being. Most importantly, research shows these ways of working are not sustainable and are contributing to lost productivity, employee turnover, and absenteeism.

The Digital Wellness @ Work™ framework outlines the key areas our digital behaviours relate to that affect employee well-being. When prioritized, these areas can foster a thriving digital environment, improve employee wellness, and contribute positively to team communication, company culture, and morale.

Through this framework, participants will explore the impact of technology on employee health and well-being, learn strategies to optimize digital work environments, create healthy communication boundaries, and learn actionable digital self-care and mindfulness strategies that can be applied, both personally and professionally!

Learning Objectives

  1. Explore the Digital Wellness @ Work™ framework as it relates to employee health and well-being in the workplace.
  2. Define digital wellness and describe how technology and digital distractions affect our ways of working.
  3. Acquire actionable digital well-being strategies.

A “no show/late cancellation” fee will be charged if cancellation is not provided to chaptercancellations@hrpa.ca at least 3 business days in advance.

Registrations will NOT be accepted at the door.
