Description
Aims
According to the Government, the UK's top economic issue is productivity. Businesses, hospitals and schools are held back by low levels of mental and physical wellbeing, high levels of sickness absence and high levels of presenteeism. With The ‘Future of Work’ high up the national agenda we need to take action to make our workplaces happier, healthier and more creative - places where people of all ages and cultures can achieve their highest potential.
This unique workshop will bring together national and international thought leaders across health, technology, behavioural science and design to consider how new digital technologies can support this mission.
Who is it for?
This workshop is for people with an interest in physical activity in the workplace and people with an interest in new opportunities for digital technology in the workplace.
We welcome researchers at all levels – from PhD students to established researchers - and people from the private, public and third sectors.
Speakers
Keynote:
Professor James Levine – world leading expert in sedentary behaviour and inventor of the treadmill desk
Invited speakers:
Dr Holly Blake, University of Nottingham
Dr Marco Bardus, American University of Beirut
Dr Laura Brocklebank, University of Bristol
