Coffee badging
In human resources, coffee badging refers to the act of employees going to the office after clocking in for a brief period, typically long enough to grab a coffee, before departing to work from elsewhere.[1] This is done to fulfill office attendance requirements by hybrid and remote workers which arose following the return to in-person work following the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3][4]
Coffee badging highlights that employers struggle with attractive, productive and stress-free office environments where employees willingly gather and reflects an erosion of trust between employees and their employers.[2][5] Coffee badging has been described as a challenge to organic office participation.[6]
Coffee badging has been criticized for incentivizing participation over productivity and contributing to empty office space.[7][8][9] Coffee badging is a form of impression management in response to employee surveillance.[10]
The term was coined in June 2023 by Owl Labs in a workforce management report.[2][11]
