  • Employee well-being at work and home
  • Structuring work (e.g. hybrid, remote, global)
  • Processing information to make decisions in virtual and/or volatile, complex, uncertain, and ambiguous environments and personal/professional boundaries
  • Ethical and equality implications of digital technology
  • How organizations and people learn and manage these changes

Researchers will share insights on optimizing work cultures for positive employee and organizational effectiveness, while industry leaders will share strategies and have opportunities for dialogue for managing a distributed, diverse workforce.

Participants will have to opportunity to present and get feedback on research and practice, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the ever-evolving workplace in the digital age.   A special issue of a journal, and other publications are planned.
