Nexus Presents: Digital Wellbeing at Work

Technology shapes how we work, communicate and think. It connects us, speeds us up and helps us get more done – but it also brings overload, distraction and burnout if we’re not careful.

This Nexus Presents session, delivered by Step One Charity’s Wellbeing@Work team, looks at how to work with technology in a way that protects your mental wellbeing, focus and energy, not drains it.

You’ll explore how digital habits affect the brain and nervous system, why switching off is so hard, and how small changes can make a big difference to how you feel at work.

This is not a lecture – it’s practical, interactive and designed for real working life.

In this session, you’ll:

• Understand how digital platforms affect attention, motivation and stress
• Recognise common workplace stressors like notification overload, email apnoea and multitasking
• Learn how to spot signs of overwhelm and disengagement
• Practise simple nervous-system regulation techniques you can use at work
• Discover practical digital wellbeing tools, settings and micro-habits
• Take away ideas you can share with your team to build healthier digital cultures

This session is ideal for:

• Business leaders and managers
• HR and People teams whi want to better support their people
• IT and digital leaders
• Anyone feeling stretched by modern, high-tech working
• Anyone who wants to work better without burning out

You don’t need any background in wellbeing or psychology – just come as you are.
