Quiet Quitting: Recognition and Prevention

"Quiet quitting" is a term that refers to a situation where an employee quietly disengages from their job without informing anyone.  The terminology itself is offensive as it is used in the mainstream media to accuse people of quitting but not telling anyone, as they are still on the payroll. What quiet quitting really means is an employee no longer goes above and beyond, instead they do the basic requirements of their job, which upsets the leadership team because they are used to the employee going above and beyond what they are hired to do. Why would a person “quiet quit”? This typically happens when an employee has become disengaged or dissatisfied with their job, and as a result, they choose to disengage without making a formal announcement.

Learning Objectives Covered During This Session:

• Set boundaries for your team to avoid both quiet quitting and quiet promotions
• Learn how to engage employees at their individual level and recognize signs of disengagement
• Gather employee feedback via surveys and act using committees and teams

Why attend?

Quiet quitting can be difficult for employers to detect and manage, as the employee may simply stop showing meetings, and in some cases the job altogether, without any explanation. This type of behavior can create confusion and disrupt the work environment, making it important for employers to address and prevent it where possible.
