The Remote Work Revolution and Its Hidden Costs
The Off Switch aligns with guidelines from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and mental health best practices, making it a proactive step toward a compliant, supportive work environment.
Since the rise of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people have struggled with new challenges in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Blurred boundaries between work and personal life have led to burnout, digital overload, and increased stress, with 80% of UK employees now reporting moderate-to-high levels of work-related stress
These constant work demands aren’t just affecting productivity; they’re also harming mental health, with 1.8 million UK workers attributing stress, depression, or anxiety to work-related causes
Remote work has transformed our lives, but it’s left a clear need for tools that help define a boundary between professional and personal time—tools that empower us to switch off from work and switch on to life.
Physical differentiation that aids self-discipline and good habit creation
Many find it hard to switch off at the end of the day, with 61% of remote workers feeling they’re "always on" and available outside their typical work hours
Perfect for remote workers who want to manage work boundaries, reduce stress, and foster positive habits, The Off Switch brings peace and balance back into daily routines. It’s not just a device; it’s the solution to a healthier, more mindful approach to working from home.
Each feature is fully customizable, allowing users to personalise routines that best support their mental well-being and daily goals. Say goodbye to digital overload and hello to a balanced, mindful approach to remote work.
