Sarah Willingham on mental health in business

New research has revealed the anxiety among business leaders relating to the growing role of technology in the workplace. Nearly 9 in 10 (86%) company directors and executives report suffering from ‘bytemares’; tech-related stress that’s severe enough to disrupt their sleep.

This tech anxiety could cost the economy £11.79 billion by 2030, as small businesses right up to multinationals opt to defer investment in tech transformation.

To help tackle this tech anxiety, BT is teaming up with ex-Dragon Sarah Willingham, and meditation guru Izzy Judd, to arm Britain’s business leaders with the tools to tackle tech transformation ‘head on’. Together they’ve created The Business Reboot, a series of tech-inspired guided meditations, designed help those at the helm of British businesses to hit the reset button before facing up to the tech challenges of the day.
