Tech shame

Tech shame refers to the shame employees feel when experiencing challenges or inability to utilize technology in the workplace.[1] The shame is felt more acutely by Generation Z and younger workers who are presumed to have grown up with technology, and thus be more tech savvy.[1] Younger workers may have experienced digital environments such as social media and video gaming, but these environments may not translate to professional tools, which are often not intuitive.[1][2][3][4]

Tech shame can be addressed through technical training and encouraging a collaborative environment.[1][5][6]

The term was coined by HP in November 2022 in a workforce report Hybrid Work: Are We There Yet?.[7][1][8]
