Like everyone else, I cannot help but notice the attention that this concept is receiving on social media platforms and in the news. The trend originated on TikTok and seems to be spreading in popularity and acceptance. In an answer to burnout among workers, employees are being encouraged to "quit" going above and beyond, working after hours, feeling stressed, etc.

While these above items are all good concepts, the idea of “quiet quitting” concerns me. In this month's blog, I share a number of reasons why this path may be detrimental to the future of the employees who are pulling back, their teammates, and the organizations where they work. 

Read more on burnout, the problems with 'quiet quitting', and what employers and leaders can do to help end this trend.

Employees who feel valued at work are often happier, more productive and less likely to look for other employment opportunities. There are many ways to show employees how much you value them—from recognition programs and financial incentives to simple gestures, like listening and taking action on employee feedback.

Knowing the importance of valued employees and how to show appreciation can create a strong company culture.

For too long, workplace connection has been thought of as something that just happens during the workday, whether via hallway conversations, water-cooler moments, or grabbing coffee.

With spontaneous moments of connection more challenging to recreate in a remote or hybrid environment, managers need to take a more proactive approach, especially given how important connection is to retention.

Organizational cynicism has been a topic of discussion and debate among employees and top management. An NIH study set out a goal to discover the relationship between organizational cynicism and organizational pride.

Digital trends such as cloud computing, mobile web services, and social media are radically changing work place dynamics and impacting overall employee health, which is an important element for organizational growth.

Burnout = high exhaustion + high cynicism + low professional efficacy.

As we dive into the idea of burnout and quitting, it's imperative that leaders realize that there are MANY reasons that people throw in the towel. 

Luckily, even if you or your team is experiencing a difficult season, there is a great deal you can do to turn things around. Embrace the humanness of your team and set healthy work boundaries to help “quiet” this trend in your company.
