Poster abstract: In 2020, 65% Australian employees considered themselves either experts or proficient with digital technology for work purposes (Gartner, 2021). Less is known about how Australians working from home (WFH) navigated the use of technology for social and emotional purposes. We define digital social and emotional literacy (DSEL) as the use of technology to manage social and emotional well-being. Thirty-three Australians illustrated DSEL through describing how technology was used to maintain social and emotional connections while also citing the negative effects of technology. These findings can be applied to optimize DSEL while mitigating the negative impacts of technology while WFH.
