Working From Home: The Risks of Overbearing Employers
Working from home is a growing trend, yet some employers remain reluctant to adapt. Sir Cary Cooper, a respected professor at the University of Manchester, describes these outdated practices as belonging to the 'dinosaurs of our age.'
Understanding Presenteeism
According to Sir Cary Cooper, mandates requiring staff to be physically present harm employee health and drive away talented individuals. This phenomenon, known as presenteeism, signifies a shift in how work is perceived.
Impact on Wellbeing and Productivity
- Damaged wellbeing: Forcing workers back into the office increases stress and dissatisfaction.
- Loss of talent: Highly skilled professionals seek companies that respect their work-life balance.
- Financial consequences: Businesses that ignore these shifts may face declining productivity and morale.
As work dynamics continue to change, organizations must recognize the importance of flexibility and adapt to new realities for better health outcomes.
