Presentalism at work describes the situation in which employees come to work sick instead of recovering. Statistics highlight the far-reaching effects of this phenomenon on productivity and wellbeing. The causes can be both individual ambition and organizational pressure. This constellation can lead to a vicious cycle that affects mental health.
