\u2018Going off the grid\u2019: Can employees really switch off during travel?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Event lifestream<\/a><\/p>\n

Technologies have had a massive impact on society and transformed how we work, live and experience travel. Social and mobile technologies have particularly enabled people to connect on an unprecedented scale, with any device, anywhere and at any time. While technologies enhance our professional and private lives in numerous ways, there is increasing evidence that people are no longer \u2018switching off\u2019. Leisure travel, grounded in the motivation of escapism and the reversal of everyday life, has traditionally had the purpose to switch off, refresh and restore body and mind. What happens however if \u2018going off the grid\u2019 is no longer an option in our hyper-connected and work-centred lifestyles?<\/p>\n

This event aims to open a debate on changed work life balance realities in a digital world. It engages academics, tourism, technology and HR professionals, students and the public in a dialogue about the wider challenges and expectations towards connectivity of employees in the context of travel.<\/p>\n

Funder: EPSRC
\nPrincipal Investigator:<\/strong> Dr Barbara Neuhofer<\/a>
\n<\/a>Co-Investigator: Professor Adele Ladkin<\/a><\/p>\n

The event takes place on 9th of March 2016, 12.00-17.00 at Bournemouth University, Kimmeridge House.<\/p>\n
