TechStress Relief Activity

The TechStress Relief Activity is a powerful resource designed for SME owners and managers. In a world increasingly reliant on technology, managing technostress — the negative impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) — is crucial for well-being and productivity.

The following topics are covered:
- Realistic scenarios/situations: participants engage with three authentic scenarios, which mirror real-world challenges faced by
employees dealing with technostress
- Stressor Identification: participants analyse stressors related to workload, time pressure, communication gaps, and creativity
versus data-driven decisions.
- Coping Strategies Brainstorm: Guided by questions, participants brainstorm coping mechanisms. They explore both problem-
focused and emotion-focused approaches.

Aims of this Activity:
- Awareness: participants recognise and understand techno-stressors.
- Problem-Solving Skills: analysing scenarios sharpens critical thinking.
- Application: participants adapt coping strategies to their unique context.

Importance of this Activity:
- Enhanced Well-Being: managing technostress can contribute to improve mental health decision-making.
- Increased Productivity: effective coping can help in achieving better business outcomes.
- Resilience: SMEs that thrive in the digital era have better chances in global markets.
