The root of the problem
According to HR Zone, it is especially workaholics and people who for some reason cannot perform sufficiently at work that suffer from the above-mentioned condition. If the tasks given to a worker are too much for them, but they do not want to leave their position, they often spend longer at work in an effort to compensate for their imperfections. Unfortunately, human labour does not function like this and, if an employee cannot cope with their tasks, staying longer at work than they should seldom solves anything. It also often happens that the employee is worried about their position and so they try to curry favour with management by staying longer at work or turning up to work when sick.
Problems caused by such an attitude
At first sight, an employee who comes to work too much might seem like a manager's dream. In reality, however, it leads to the following problems:
- poor quality work, caused by the fact the employee is overworked
- more sick people who are infected by the employee
- greater chances of the employee suffering burnout syndrome
- toxic impact on other employees
