läsnäolopuuttuminen

Läsnaolopuuttuminen is a Finnish term that translates to "absence of presence" or "presenteeism" in English. It describes a situation where an individual is physically present at their workplace but is mentally or emotionally disengaged, unable to perform their duties effectively, or is experiencing diminished productivity due to various factors. This can stem from a range of issues including stress, burnout, illness (physical or mental), personal problems, or a lack of motivation.

Unlike absenteeism, where an employee is absent from work, läsnäolopuuttuminen is characterized by the employee's physical attendance. However, the quality of their work and their contribution to the team are significantly impaired. This can manifest as decreased concentration, errors, slower work pace, and a general lack of engagement. It can also negatively impact the morale and productivity of colleagues who may have to compensate for the disengaged employee.

Identifying läsnäolopuuttuminen can be challenging for employers as it is not as overtly visible as absence. However, recognizing its signs is crucial for addressing the underlying causes and supporting affected employees. Employers can foster a supportive work environment, promote well-being, and offer resources to help individuals manage stress and other contributing factors. Open communication and a focus on employee well-being are key to mitigating the effects of läsnäolopuuttuminen.
