Overview

Join us for this interactive event designed to connect industry practitioners with both leading and emerging researchers from the University of Queensland’s Centre for Business and Organisational Psychology (CBOP).  This event is a collaboration between CBOP and the APS College of Organisational Psychology (Qld).

We are delighted to have two outstanding Queensland researchers speak to current workplace practices with direct consequences for both productivity and employee thriving.   Prof Martin Edwards will speak about his research on the impact of digital monitoring of employees and performance metrics.  Assoc. Prof Stacey Parker will share her emerging work on hybrid work arrangements and how employees manage their energy and recovery processes.  This will be followed by a series of research pitches where current CBOP researchers will share insights and questions emerging from their research projects, showcasing the breadth of topics currently being explored at CBOP.

The event will commence with a light breakfast and the opportunity to meet and network with friends and new industry and research colleagues.  After the short presentations, the main focus for the morning will be interactive round table discussions involving all participants to identify pressing industry issues and link this with contemporary, practical challenges and current or emerging research evidence.  A panel of discussants will respond to these questions to develop a picture of key areas where professionals and academia can work together for practical outcomes.

Upon completion of this event, participants should be able to:

• Outline key impacts of digital monitoring and hybrid work on employee and organisational outcomes.
