abstract
As remote work becomes increasingly widespread, digital fatigue has emerged as a major concern affecting employee well-being, productivity, and mental health. Digital fatigue, characterized by exhaustion from prolonged screen exposure and virtual interactions, can lead to physical strain, cognitive overload, and burnout. This paper examines the causes and symptoms of digital fatigue in remote work environments, including extended screen time, frequent virtual meetings, and a lack of clear work-life boundaries. It then proposes effective strategies for reducing digital fatigue, such as implementing regular breaks, optimizing virtual meeting schedules, promoting physical movement, and providing mental health support. By prioritizing these interventions, organizations can enhance employee resilience, boost productivity, and foster a healthier remote work culture. Reducing digital fatigue is essential to sustaining employee engagement and preventing long-term health issues in a predominantly digital work environment.
