Episode 11: “Right to disconnect, mental health and more”

For our latest edition, we return to some familiar themes. In episode 2, we looked at automation and digitalisation. In this episode, we look at the impact of technology in the workplace. 

 

Dr Caroline Murphy of the University of Limerick joins us to look at the recent FSU report "Technology Work and Skills: The Impact of Technology on Employees". We talk to Caroline about the 'right to disconnect' from work, and how the report was produced.

 

Minding mental health has also been a big topic here at the office Block. Previously, we talked about how the importance of mental health at work. We continue on that theme with Dec Coates, who is a sector committee member with the FSU. 

 

A big thanks to both Dec and Caroline for joining us. 

We would be grateful if you could spread the word.
