Terry Talks

Quiet Quitting

'Quiet Quitting' is the latest workplace trend affecting employees worldwide. It used to go by many different names, such as disengagement or discretionary effort. Quiet quitting means that the little extra effort given by employees is eliminated; employees are just doing their job and going home. This trend has huge implications for workforce productivity, and low employee engagement is estimated to cost $8 trillion globally annually! A record number of employees in 2022 report feeling emotionally detached from work. The issue lies in how employees are managed or coached and unhealthy culture. Leadership, or a lack thereof, is largely responsible for this. So, leadership development needs commitment and investment. Leaders build a great culture, which can counter quiet quitting and employee disengagement.

This week's Terry Talk covers a great article by Vice entitled 'Business is Booming for Layoff Specialists.'
