SwitchOff
Supporting remote workers’ right to disconnect during non-working time
About
Growing workplace digitalisation and use of telework during and after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the risk of “permanent connectivity”, resulting in increased work pressure and stress.
The SwitchOff project supports managers and trainers acquire competences on how to support workers to achieve their right to disconnect from work and restore their emotional, cognitive and physical resources at the end of their working day. It also supports companies to adjust their policies and practices to this concern by providing resources on how it can be accomplished and how to use digital technologies and other practices to support workers to disconnect from work.
Target Audience
- Trainers / Human resources (HR) professionals / Head of departments / Managers
- Remote workers
- Decision/policy makers
Activities
- Development of a toolkit for teleworkers, HR professionals and managers with guidelines, actions, steps and best practices on how remote workers and organisations can facilitate the right to disconnect.
- Elaboration of a training programme for HR professionals and managers on workers’ right to disconnect from work with best practices, policies and procedures for workers’ effective use of digital technologies.
- Setting of an e-learning platform including the digital open educational resources developed under the project.
