Creator

Ghosh, Oindrilla; Kumar, Binod

Description

In today's VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) and BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) reality, enhancing well-being in the digital age is crucial. Digital technology can both support and hinder mental health, making it essential to cultivate a balanced approach. Encouraging digital detoxes and mindfulness practices can reduce stress and promote emotional resilience. Leveraging online communities for support fosters connection, but awareness of the potential for digital addiction remains essential. Tools like mental health apps can provide resources, yet they should complement real-life interactions to ensure authenticity. Emphasizing digital literacy empowers individuals to navigate information critically, enhancing decision-making regarding their mental and emotional health. Finally, organizations must prioritize employee well-being by implementing flexible work arrangements, promoting open communication, and providing mental health resources. By consciously shaping our digital environments, we can enhance well-being and thrive in this complex world. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
