Episode Description
In this episode, Steven Morris discusses:
- What is Presenteeism?
- The issue with presenteeism
- Absenteeism versus presenteeism
- Creating business with both meaning and profit
Key Takeaways:
- The Beautiful Business (book) offers an antidote to both Absenteeism and Presenteeism.
- Presenteeism is when people show up in work, but are not productive in the job which happens because of many factors like burnout, conflict or a lack of chemistry with their teammates and more.
- People who just show up for the job aren’t going to be as productive as someone who’s committed, devoted and feel like they belong to a team.
- The company loses more due to presenteeism than absenteeism.
- Business that is beautiful is a business that focuses on seeking more than just profit, but meaning - reaching out to impact the lives of members and clients positively, creating value for each one.
"Folks who feel like they belong in a team, are typically going above and beyond to make sure that the business, the customers, and coworkers are treated well and with the utmost of respect." — Steven Morris
