The ever-increasing availability of modern technology begs for more investigation. It has the potential to keep us abreast of the latest information and make us accessible whenever and wherever we are required. Even though this is encouraging, it also suggests that many companies want to have access to their staff outside of normal work hours. Any method, from a video conference to a late-night SMS, might be used for this purpose. Many people may find this ease of access annoying since it prevents them from truly relaxing. The mindset of being constantly available is a drawback of utilizing technology at work. However, not everything is terrible. Access to video conferencing with clients halfway around the world might help businesses break into new global marketplaces. Dr. Y. Volyntseva (2020) Does workplace technology negatively affect workers' emotional and psychological well-being? Businesstechweekly.com Read this article to learn how technology affects one's mental health: https://www.businesstechweekly.com/hr-and-recruitment/ Intense reliance on electronic devices Long periods of time in front of a laptop screen can be tiring on the eyes. The inability to focus that comes with being overtired has a significant impact on workplace productivity. Many jobs today include the use of a laptop or computer, but some people worry that this is bad for their health. Even while it has been recommended that workers take breaks from their electronic devices on a regular basis, this is rarely done in practice. Workers are under a lot of pressure to get their job done and often return to their desks shortly after their breaks end. Lack of proper back support when sitting in front of a screen can have detrimental effects on your spine as well as your mental and emotional wellbeing. Work-related back discomfort is a common complaint among office employees, and many make that connection. Repeated stress injuries to workers are also a possibility (RSI). As a result of overuse, the tendons, muscles, and nerves in the affected area become painfully sensitive. WellRight (2021), "4 Ways Technology Impacts the Mental Health of Your Employees," discusses how wellness programs may have a positive effect on workers' emotional well-being.
