With the rapid rise in flexible working, it’s important to ensure that work and homelife boundaries don’t become blurred.

While lots of us reply to the occasional email in time off, responsible employers don’t advocate working outside of contracted hours. Leavism, as it’s known, can also see staff using up annual leave to work or if they are unwell. 

According to a recent health and wellbeing at work report from the CIPD, Leavism remains commonplace. The report also reveals that Presenteeism – working when unwell – is observed in most organisations. 

Struggling on with a normal workload while sick shouldn’t be the norm; it’s not good for the individual and no one wants full-on flu or covid spread around the office.
