Coffee badging is a neologism referring to the behavioural phenomenon of employees staying briefly at their office, typically long enough to drink a coffee, before departing to work from elsewhere.[1] Coined by Owl Labs in a 2023 workforce management report, workers do this to fulfill in-office attendance requirements following the post-lockdown return to in-person work, with 58% of their hybrid workforce engaging in the practice.[1]
The practice became associated with hybrid work and return to office requirements following the widespread adoption of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
