Workshop description:
In our increasingly connected world, the nature of work is changing. Digital innovation has led to the emergence of new types of jobs, while other jobs have become obsolete. There is more flexibility in terms of when, where, and how we work. ICT has enabled greater accessibility to a variety of jobs by eliminating barriers due to physical, visual, or other restrictions. Along with the positive impacts of digital innovation, there are also potential negative impacts of ICT on the workplace, particularly regarding new methods of employee monitoring and the blurring of boundaries between home and work. These and other issues related to the impact of digital innovation on work will be explored in this workshop.
