Quiet Quitting in the Workplace

222: Quiet Quitting in the Workplace

WITH MICHELE WILLIAMS

Have you heard of quiet quitting? Maybe you have seen or felt it in your business or when speaking with a colleague. Quiet quitting is defined as an emotional quitting instead of physically doing so. On the podcast today we are exploring quiet quitting. What it is, how it occurs, how to spot it and hopefully stop it before it escalates.

Key Thoughts:

Quiet quitting is a thing! And we are seeing it more and more in the workplace. It is defined as emotionally quitting – tapping out, all while physically still coming in and doing the job. Michele (1:13)

Every person on the team should know the high level of what the business does, why it does it, who it serves and how their job fits in. Michele (1:58)

Quiet quitting, when hitting its peak, can show that expectations are out of control and that team members are demanding a realignment. Michele (6:37)

One of the best ways to reduce quiet quitting is to have one meaningful conversation each week with each employee lasting 15-30 minutes. Michele (7:30)
