How adaptive work systems unlock autonomy, motivation, and growth
Our research shows 42% of knowledge workers report reduced motivation, and many feel less control at work. Join our LinkedIn Live with our partner Tempo Software to learn how autonomy, supportive AI workflows, and clearer processes can reduce technostress and re-engage teams.
Date: 11 March, 4pm, UK time
Event overview
Our latest research shows a worrying decline in motivation and control over work among knowledge workers: 42% report reduced motivation, 41% feel unappreciated, and 40% have emotionally withdrawn. At the same time, “task discretion” in the UK—the ability to decide what to do and how to do it—has been falling, with clear links to poorer wellbeing.
During our latest LinkedIn Live panel discussion (The Expert Hour), with our partner Tempo Software, we'll explore how to break the cycle in which technostress fuels disengagement, erodes trust, and accelerates attrition.
Our experts will discuss what real task autonomy looks like (clear goals with flexibility on how to achieve them), why overly controlling leadership and micromanagement backfire, and how supportive tech cultures can turn AI and digital tools into enablers rather than stressors.
We'll also unpack the research, which shows a powerful antidote: energised employees are far more likely to have full discretion over their tasks, and when AI is embedded in workflows, 82% say tools help them retain or regain that control. Once registered, you will receive a notification with a link to watch the live event. See you there!
