According to the study, figuring out how to present oneself digitally can represent a foray into new technology and relationships. "Take care to consider the upstream consequences of introducing new tools into an established system. Take the time to consider a range of scenarios while getting direct input from those expected to 'partner' with these new tools." "Companies that embrace upskilling and skills-based work, in general, will be best equipped to help shine a light on career development options that are aligned with the company's strategic vision and its employees' professional goals." Many of us today are trying to figure out how to restore our fundamental human desire for meaningful connection with the tools of the here and now. According to the study, despite their capacity to be a force for good, machines can strip workers of their dignity and alienate them from their work. "Our participant collaborators shared their perspectives on grappling with technology and digital platforms in the workplace," Bird said. In the race for greater efficiency, productivity and speed, decision makers risk overlooking the potential impact of workplace technology on workers. Workers who feel their agency dwindling because of automation can feel minimized and mechanized, making it difficult for them to feel motivated to bring their best selves to work.
