Presenteeism in the workplace is when employees show up to work but are not productive due to mental or physical health problems that prevent them from doing their job.
Vicky Walker, director of people at British health and well-being solutions provider Westfield Health, offers insights into what presenteeism is, why it’s so common and how to spot it in your employees.
For the employees themselves, it can also be common to harbor an ingrained fear that a lack of physical presence in the office will harm their prospects. Predictably, this disproportionately affects younger workers and those in junior positions who feel more pressure to prove themselves.Rather than putting a stop to presenteeism, the rise of hybrid working has only moved it out of the office and online instead.
You should commit to a top-down evaluation of what’s important in your workplace and look into ways to measure productivity outside employees’ physical presence, for example, through tangible outputs or whether your employees are completing their work on time.
