Digital disconnection is more important than ever in an era marked by hyperconnection and technology. For this reason, Edenred, in collaboration with the Savia health platform<\/strong>, has carried out the Study of Workplace Health and Well-being in Spain<\/strong>. This is a report that provides a clear picture of the digital habits of Spanish workers, their impact on health and work-life balance.<\/p>

What is digital disconnection?<\/h2>

Digital disconnection refers to the right of individuals to disconnect from work tasks and communications outside working hours<\/strong>. It is not simply a matter of turning off electronic devices, but of setting clear boundaries to protect time off, promote emotional well-being and maintain a healthy work-life balance.<\/p>

Today, this concept has become more relevant, especially in telework contexts, where the boundaries between work and private life have become blurred. Digital disconnection is a practice key to preserving productivity<\/strong> and quality of life in the long term.<\/p>

Study by Autonomous Communities<\/h2>

The report highlights that the Community of Madrid<\/strong> is the region with the highest level of digital connection outside working hours, with 68.75 % of workers continuing to answer calls or messages after work. This is followed by Galicia (67,93 %)<\/strong>, Valencian Community <\/strong>(67,38 %) and Catalonia <\/strong>(67.09 %), all with high digital load figures. On the other hand, the Basque Country<\/strong> (46,2 %) and Castilla y Le\u00f3n <\/strong>(41.4 %) lead the disconnection ranking.<\/p>

Analysis by generations<\/h2>

The study also delves into generational differences. The professionals who find it most difficult to switch off are the youngest: 71.4 % of those who have the most difficulty in switching off are the youngest: 71.4 % of those who have the most difficulty in switching off. Millennials <\/strong>(25-34 years old) and 66,7 % of the Generation Z<\/strong> (18-24 years) continue to deal with labour communications<\/strong> outside working hours. In contrast<\/strong>, The percentages decrease among the older generations, with 60.9 % in the Generation X<\/strong> (45-54 years old) and 61.9 % in the Baby Boomers<\/strong> younger (55-60 years).<\/p>
