Digital Wellbeing Workshop: What you need to know:
Reclaiming Focus from Tech Overload
87% of employees say technology prevents them from “switching off” outside of work hours. 58% of Gen Z and 54% of millennials regularly experience digital fatigue from constant alerts and tool-switching. (Deloitte 2026).
Email overload, Zoom fatigue, endless Slack notifications, and constant context-switching are now the standard texture of the working day. The real productivity challenge isn’t lack of effort — it’s too much screen time, not enough focus.
In this Digital Wellbeing Workshop, we discuss the impact of digital overwhelm before exploring practical, evidence-based strategies your team can use to limit distraction, maintain focus, and reduce the stress and anxiety that comes with always-on culture. So they can be at their best — at work and outside it.
60 minutes. Led by a digital wellbeing coach and positive psychology expert. In-person UK or virtual worldwide.
This Digital Wellbeing workshop will explore:
- Understand the “always-on” culture: digital overwhelm and its impact on focus, mood and decision-making Practical strategies you can weave into your day: Power pauses, Pomodoro bursts, tech resets and other approaches that actually fit inside a busy job
- Top habits to manage digital distraction and protect your attention from the design choices made by your devices
- Sustaining performance under pressure: tools for healthy screen-time habits and lasting clarity, even in heavy-output periods

Why this AI workshop matters now
AI is the biggest single shift in how work gets done since the smartphone. Most workplace AI conversations focus on productivity gains and capability concerns. Very few focus on what AI does to wellbeing, attention, and the emotional texture of the working day.
The workshop fills that gap. It’s not anti-AI (AI is here and useful) and it’s not naively pro-AI (the overwhelm is real). It’s the practical middle position — teaching teams to use AI deliberately, in ways that support rather than erode their working lives.
Stats worth keeping front-of-mind: 85% of knowledge workers say their workdays are disrupted by digital distractions. AI accelerates both the distractions and the potential solutions, depending on how it’s used.
When this workshop is the right fit:
- Your organisation is rolling out AI tools — Copilot, ChatGPT, AI assistants, custom AI workflows. The wellbeing conversation needs to keep pace with the capability rollout, not lag behind it.
- Your team is feeling overwhelmed by the pace of AI change. Anxiety about AI is widespread. Equipping teams to use AI well reduces both the overwhelm and the avoidance.
- You’re running Mental Health Awareness Week or a Digital Wellbeing programme. AI is one of the most modern, relevant angles to bring into the conversation.
- You’re investing in future-ready ways of working. This workshop pairs naturally with leadership development around technology adoption.
Particularly valuable for: Professional services firms adapting to AI; tech and creative industries where AI is reshaping roles; financial services balancing AI capability with cognitive load on senior teams; consulting firms helping clients with AI while managing their own.

About your facilitator
Led by a digital wellbeing coach with deep expertise in positive psychology and the behavioural science of attention. Our facilitator combines evidence-based content with the kind of practical delivery that respects the reality of modern work — no naive “just turn off your phone” advice, no judgement of the team’s current habits.
What our clients say
By the end of the workshop I had lots of tips, tools & apps to to make sure I control my phone and not the other way around! I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone with a smartphone.
An extremely interesting and engaging workshop. The subject matter was well presented with the perfect amount of interaction with the audience. The workshop definitely made everyone more aware of their own phone use and how to take small steps to reduce dependency on it.
This workshop was a great insight on technology and how it’s overwhelmed our daily lives that we forget to stop and look around and enjoy our surroundings from time to time.

Digital Wellbeing Workshop FAQs:
Is this just “use your phone less” advice?
No. The workshop is built around the behavioural science of attention and the design choices that make tech distracting — then translates that into practical workplace habits. We don’t ask people to give up tech; we help them use it on purpose.
Is this suitable for hybrid and remote teams?
Yes — specifically. Much of the content addresses challenges that hit hybrid and remote teams hardest: meeting overload, Slack overwhelm, blurred work/home boundaries, the absence of natural rhythm.
Can it be delivered for senior leadership?
Yes — and we recommend it. Senior leaders set the digital culture (intentionally or not). When they’re emailing at 11pm, the team learns to do the same. This workshop equips leadership to model better digital wellbeing.
Can the workshop be tailored to our industry?
Yes. Tech, media and finance teams get specific framing around their context. We can also focus on particular issues — Slack-heavy culture, meeting overload, after-hours availability, social media for marketing teams.
Can we record this for global access?
Yes — and there’s an on-demand version available specifically for global rollout.
Do you deliver to international teams?
Yes. Virtual delivery works across North America, Europe, the Middle East and APAC.
What does it cost?
Tailored pricing based on duration, format and whether you’re booking standalone or as part of a programme. Multi-workshop bookings are priced more favourably. Book a discovery call and we’ll send a quote within 48 hours.
