Abstract: This paper contributes to the discussion about the impact of new technology on the labour market by analysing the impact of new workplace technologies on the well-being of employees in German establishments. We first show that there is no significant overall effect on different measures of employee well-being. We then introduce the role of skill gaps and workplace training and show that a negative effect exists for workers who do not possess sufficient skills in the use of the new technologies and that this negative impact can be completely offset by the provision of training in the use of the newly introduced technologies.
