Social:Digital presenteeism
Digital presenteeism is the expectation or pressure for employees to be available and responsive on digital communication platforms, such as email, instant messaging, or collaboration tools, even during non-working hours or when they are not physically present in the workplace. This phenomenon is often driven by the desire to demonstrate commitment, productivity, and responsiveness, and it can lead to overwork, burnout, and a poor work-life balance.[1] It has also been attributed to job insecurity and fear of being made redundant.[2]
Digital presenteeism has become more common following COVID-19.[3][4][5] Workers may engage in productivity theater to appear busy.
History
Presenteeism occurs outside of digitally-connected work. In a more general sense, presenteeism is the act or culture of employees continuing to work as a performative measure, despite having reduced productivity levels or negative consequences.
