In this conversation, Mary Schuster and Hoyt Mann discuss the impact of technology on work-life balance and mental well-being. They explore the challenges of staying connected 24/7 and the importance of unplugging and taking time for yourself. As technology automates more and more functions people have been doing manually, the hope is for people to have more time to engage with the aspects of work that require authentic relationship-building, creativity, and ingenuity. Hoyt shares a variety of strategies for remaining intentional about managing technology and prioritizing personal well-being, as well as the danger of prioritizing efficiency over building meaningful connections. The discussion also touches on the challenges faced by younger workers in developing soft skills and adapting to remote work and the role leaders can play in educating early-career workers.
