Dear Vicki: How do I tackle a culture of 'presenteeism' in my office?
Briefly

To successfully tackle presenteeism, start by redefining success to focus on productivity and results rather than hours spent in the office. Encourage employees to prioritize the quality of their work over their physical presence.
Hosting regular discussions about work-life balance can help shift the mindset from hours worked to tasks completed. Consider implementing flexible working arrangements to demonstrate trust in your team’s ability to manage their time effectively.
Recognize and reward employees who exemplify a focus on results, regardless of their hours in the office. Publicly acknowledging their contributions during meetings can help reinforce the desired culture change.
Lead by example: As a leader, model the behavior you want to see by maintaining healthy work habits yourself. Prioritize personal time and openly discuss the importance of not being chained to office hours.
