Slack messages from coworkers. Virtual meetings on Zoom.  \n\nIf these things boost your anxiety, you're experiencing something called technostress. Technostress can also include anxiety about keeping up with new technologies – or being replaced by them.  \n \nIt makes employees miserable. And easing technostress at work is an ongoing struggle for employers, especially since technology seems to blur the boundaries between work time and personal time. \n\nJason Thatcher is a University of Colorado researcher who studies how people do their jobs and use technology in the workplace. He teaches at CU’s Leeds School of Business. \n\nIn a recent paper, he argues that the key to reducing tech-related stress is to understand that individual employees will react to different technologies in different ways.  \n\nJason spoke with ITN’s Brad Turner about how you, and your boss, can lower the technostress you encounter at work. \nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
