Next Steps

Moving forward, we have several steps in refinement to consider as we more directly define the way our concept addresses workplace burnout. This will be backed up with user testing and research which we will use to inform design decisions along the way. Currently, our concept seeks to improve the "Work From Anywhere" future situation in a general manner, targeting both employees and managers whilst taking a three-pronged approach to alleviate di erent issues. Using research into the contemporary workplace, we will focus our concept into an integrated solution that addresses key issues to do with workplace burnout. This will allow us to explore more defined ways in which sensors and technology will function, paving the way towards prototyping and testing.

We are the SQUID SQUAD
