Technophobia Consulting
Identifying the hidden challenges that employees face when using technologies.
The thoughts and insights I share are based on the findings of my research, using the diagnostic tools I developed. Companies and users can assess their unique Tecno-Trait portfolio that can be used to improve the way technology is introduced and implemented in the workplace. Each portfolio quantifies the invisible struggles that users face daily in their workplace interactions with technology. Measuring the Techno-Traits within your workplace can help to create more efficient and effective coping strategies which can improve employees' mental health, lessen stress, and decrease burnout. If you’re interested in learning more about your Techno-Traits, or the Techno-Traits of your employees you can contact me on LinkedIn

A significant challenge lies in the reluctance or outright rejection of technology by users, often stemming from technophobia. Exploring the extent to which technophobia contributes to implementation challenges can provide valuable insights for companies striving to overcome this obstacle
