Work is a rich source of meaning. However, beyond organizational changes,
most approaches in the research field of Meaningful Work neglected the power of
work-related technology to increase meaning. Using two cases as examples, this
paper proposes a wellbeing-driven approach to the design of work-related
technology. Despite the positive results of our cases, we argue that the use of
technology as a means of increasing meaning in the workplace is still in its
infancy.Comment: 5 pages, to be published in Extended Abstracts of the 2020 CHI
