Le présentéisme. Lorsque la présence n'est pas garante de la performance

For many years, organizations have tried to control absenteeism. Due to its high costs, organizations have candidly engaged into ways to reduce absenteeism and promote presence at work. That is although we often forget that presence does not necessarily lead to efficiency and that more and more workers are now presenting themselves at work even though sickness. This phenomenon is called presenteeism, and is responsible in a large proportion of work productivity losses. This article aims at defining this reality by first presenting a review of literature in regard to this phenomenon, and second proposing new ways to better understand presenteeism.
