🔎Absenteeism, which is easily observed through unplanned absences like illness or personal issues, tends to increase with employee disengagement.

🔎In contrast, presenteeism is trickier to detect; employees may physically be at work but struggle with delivering their best work due to factors like heavy workloads, feeling demotivated, and job insecurity.

💡Addressing these issues through good management and promoting employee well-being is crucial to fostering a productive workplace environment.

📆When deadlines loom, we often suppress our feelings of boredom to push through our to-do list.

🥽But according to new research in the Journal of Applied Psychology, using boredom as a signal to switch tasks might actually boost our productivity.

🚀One technique I find helpful is to tackle tasks requiring the most brainpower first, then spread out the more tedious, simple tasks throughout the week.

📒I also use an excellent planner to stay productive and on track.

💖As a manager, I always provide my team with context on how their tasks contribute to larger goals or organisational impact, to enhance their sense of purpose and maintain focus.

💭A thinking trap, also called a cognitive distortion, is a pattern of thought that prevents us from seeing things as they really are. These thoughts tend to be biased or irrational thinking that can lead to misperceptions and negative emotions.

💬Changing the way we think has the power to alter our mood and impact the way we navigate and see situations at work.

Toxic positivity is often seen as an avoidant coping strategy, where individuals or managers prioritise maintaining a positive outlook and downplay or overlook negative emotions or challenges.

At times, we may resort to this approach to avoid uncomfortable conversations or situations. However, in the workplace, this may lead to overlooking problems, avoiding difficult conversations and failing to address employees’ emotional well-being.

Have you encountered instances of toxic positivity at work in your experiences?

🤒Presenteeism occurs when employees come to work despite being unwell, causing negative effects on both the individual and the organisation.
