Rebecca Scott Communications Specialist & Research Analyst, Innovations 2 Solutions Sodexo
Addi$onal Findings • Younger workers reported more posi1ve and more nega1ve
aspects of work-‐related communica1on technology than their older counterparts.
• 32% of employees age 18-‐34 said that it forces them to work faster versus 12% of employees age 55+
• 25% of those age 18-‐24 said it nega1vely affects their rela1onships outside of work versus 9% of those age 55+
• 28% of employees age 18-‐34 and 35-‐44 said it causes work-‐life conflict versus 14% of those 55+
Ques$ons to Consider • The prevailing belief is that our society is too connected and that this is having a
detrimental effect on work and health. But there are clearly several posi1ve effects of work-‐related communica1on technology. Do the posi$ve effects outweigh the nega$ve effects? Can we $p this balance?
• Regarding nega1ve effects – How can we decrease the “always on” mentality? Are corporate communica1ons about the importance of “down1me” enough to change workplace culture? Does it really just boil down to one’s individual ini1a1ve to “unplug”? Is this even a possibility in your organiza1on?
What are the norms and expecta$ons in your organiza$on? • Does a “good” employee respond to an e-‐mail from the boss within minutes, even
in the evenings and on weekends? • What behaviors get highlighted as desirable or undesirable when it comes to
availability and response 1me and what ac1ons get rewarded? • Are organiza1onal leaders, who may be more likely to put in long hours and stay
connected to the office outside of normal business hours, inadvertently communica1ng through their ac1ons that they expect their employees to do the same?
