Abstract

The modern workplace has been optimized towards increasing productivity, often at the cost of long-term worker wellbeing. This systemic issue has been acknowledged in both research and practice, but has not yet been solved. There is a notable lack of practical methods of incorporating physical activity and other wellbeing practices into productive workplace activities. We see a gap between research endeavors and industry practice that motivates a call for increased collaboration between the two parties. In response, our workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to work together in identifying a set of grand challenges for the field. Through collaboration, we will create a concrete research agenda to create a resilient future workplace that explicitly incorporates holistic worker wellbeing.
