Läsnaolotyötä

Läsnaolotyötä refers to a specific type of work arrangement where an employee is present at the workplace but is not actively engaged in tasks that require their immediate attention or full capacity. This can occur in various contexts, such as during periods of waiting for instructions, during downtime between projects, or when fulfilling supervisory roles that do not demand constant active engagement. The core characteristic is the physical presence at the designated work location, maintaining availability for when work does arise.

This concept is distinct from remote work or being on-call, as it emphasizes being physically present. Läsnaolotyötä can sometimes be a component of certain job descriptions, particularly in roles that require a certain level of oversight or the immediate availability of personnel. It is not necessarily a measure of productivity, but rather a way to ensure that an employee is accessible and ready to resume duties promptly. The perception and management of läsnaolotyötä can vary significantly between organizations and industries, with some viewing it as an inefficient use of resources while others see it as a necessary part of operational readiness. It is important to distinguish between genuine downtime and periods where an employee might be intentionally disengaged from their duties.
