Supporting Workers in Developing Effective Collaboration Skills for Complex Work

This workshop aims to support participants in reflecting, ideating, and prototyping new socio-technical approaches to help workers develop effective collaboration skills for complex work. While CSCW researchers have created tools to provide workers access to collaboration opportunities, workers require more support in learning how to collaborate effectively to benefit from these opportunities. We invite academic and industry researchers who study these topics and develop socio-technical systems for workplaces to participate in this workshop. Participants will share insights from their work and work with each other to envision an agenda for future research and design of workplaces that support learning how to collaborate. Discussion and ideas generated from this workshop will be synthesized and archived online for the larger research community and the general public. We hope these discussions will foster new collaborations and further develop a community of researchers who have supporting learning as an agenda for the future of work.
