Toxic workplace cultures are sacrificing employees’ health – and it doesn’t have to be this way | Amanda Wallis and Gaynor Parkin
By tackling presenteeism, we can make the most of our days at work, and treat our non-work time as a chance to do more of what we love
Consider a construction worker who hasn’t slept more than four hours a night for the past week, a software engineer who is battling a persistent cold but keeps working from their home office, and a schoolteacher who worries about their students so shows up each day despite feeling emotionally burned out.
What do they have in common? Presenteeism, otherwise known as the act of working while unwell – physically, emotionally, or mentally.
