Understanding Toxic Productivity
Toxic productivity isn’t just about working hard—it’s an constant need to overwork, often at the expense of our health, relationships, and quality of life. Moss explains that this cultural obsession with busyness stems from deeply ingrained societal norms equating rest with laziness and productivity with virtue.
Add social media’s ongoing comparison culture and the rise of AI, and the pressure to always be “on” has reached new heights. Moss challenges leaders and teams to rethink how they measure success, shifting the focus from hours worked to meaningful goals achieved.
How Toxic Productivity Impacts Your Workforce
Jennifer Moss draws on data to illustrate the real costs of toxic productivity:
- Burnout and Stress: Slack’s Workforce Index found employees who work after hours experience 2.1x worse stress and 2x greater burnout.
- Over-meeting Culture: Post-pandemic, meetings have increased by 192%, with 78% of workers reporting difficulty completing core tasks due to meeting overload.
- Vacation Deprivation: The 2024 PTO Report revealed that many employees avoid taking time off due to guilt or fear of judgment, further compounding stress.
