Lunch Break With Ethics And Leadership

The Ethics and Leadership group in Tekna Oslo presents The Engineer’s House*, an informal arena for connecting in person. If you have been to any Tekna events, you probably appreciate the socialising part of it, like meeting new people, discussing what you’ve learnt or had a talk outside of the event’s topic.

It’s not easy to predict when we will be able to experience this again. But today, we have an opportunity to get that exact feeling of attending a live event. The pandemic is not a reason to stay disconnected!

Event Topic

Working from the home office is the new normal for most engineers in Norway. It has plenty of advantages like more flexibility during working days or reduced commuting time. Unfortunately, staying at home also implies less social contact and brings to the surface such issues as loneliness, low motivation, and low energy that significantly affect work and life quality.

Join during your lunch break for a short chat and get connected with engineers like you. You can discuss the challenges of working from home or other topics related to self-management and leadership to understand what you can improve for a better home-office life.

This event is for you:

• if you seek in-person experience
• if you feel isolated at home office
• if you're keen to expand your network
• if you're a life-long learner
• if you are introverted
• if you are extraverted
• if you like sharing ideas

Event Format

We are aware of the enormous digital pressure nowadays, so we designed the event to last 40 minutes at most. We will be using the Zoom platform and breakout rooms where the participants will be able to choose a room they would like to join. We will also encourage you to switch on web-cameras for a better experience.
