What is e-presenteeism? How is it affecting people working from home? And what do law firms need to do about it?

Matthew Kay, managing director of Vario at Pinsent Masons, answers these questions in an article in this week’s NLJ.

‘[Presenteeism] has long been recognised as a malady in the legal sector,’ Kay writes. Technology, smart devices and cloud-based systems have, of course, made the problem a whole lot worse. Kay offers useful insights into a problem that can be hard to spot.
