"The digitization of work can be expected to bring opportunities for quality of life and health. At the same time, the associated health risks also need to be recognized early on and minimized by appropriate regulatory means. The findings of the WSI Works Council Survey 2016 show which problems are arising in the workplace and where action is required. For mobile/remote working in particular, many of the typical risks such as overwork, constant reachability, difficult integration of work and family life are nothing new. They are the consequence of increasing flexibilization and have long been a challenge to occupational safety and health. As digitization progresses, the need to act will grow more urgent. "
