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]
Digital presenteeism has become more common following COVID-19.[2][3][4]
