Digital presenteeism refers to the phenomenon of employees being physically present at work, but not fully engaged or productive due to distractions caused by digital devices and technology. This can include constantly checking emails, social media, or other online platforms, as well as multitasking on various digital tasks instead of focusing on work responsibilities. Digital presenteeism can also occur when employees feel pressure to always be available and responsive to work-related communication, even outside of regular working hours. This can lead to a decrease in productivity, as well as potential burnout and negative impacts on mental health. Employers can address digital presenteeism by promoting healthy work-life balance and setting clear boundaries for digital communication and expectations.
