“People switching off during meetings or sitting at their desk without motivation has existed for decades. What’s different now is that in a virtual or hybrid setup, it is harder to detect who is genuinely engaged and who has mentally switched off.” Kamlesh Dangi, Group Head -HR, InCred Financial Services

“Error rates, absenteeism, irritability and withdrawal symptoms are clearer signals of mental disengagement. Staying late at work regularly doesn’t make people productive, nor is it a sign of dedication. In fact, it often reflects inefficiency, fatigue, or the pressure to maintain an image.” Dr. Sujiv Nair, PhD, Group CHRO, Re Sustainability Limited
