The Right To Disconnect – Airplane Mode: ON!

“What is your most valued possession in life?” – was the headline used by a company attempting to advertise its new smartphone on the market, that for some reason, was quick to grab my attention. I naturally stood there thinking to myself, “what is, indeed my most valued possession in life?” and it seems like this company had my answer all figured out. It is, albeit very sadly, my phone.

It is a given nowadays, that wherever you go, your phone is with you. Your clients know this … and frankly, so does your employer. Whilst it has undoubtedly made life much easier on several levels, and even more importantly, from a productivity point of view, this hyper-connected world, keeps making it increasingly challenging for employees to demarcate work and personal life.
