Description

This coffeesode focuses on the review of the academic literature on the right to disconnect (RTD), which allows workers to legally disconnect from work-related communications outside of normal working hours.

The coffeesode examines-

• The growth of digital technologies and their impact on worker well-being, including potential negative effects on work-life balance and mental health.
• The different legal frameworks for RTD, highlighting two distinct approaches: legislation and self-regulation. 
• The pros and cons of RTD and what workers can do to create a meaningful work-life balance
