Quiet quitting is usually perceived as a negative in the workplace. But perhaps its bad reputation is unfair. Quiet quitting is more of a mindset shift than it is an actual action. You’re still performing your duties, but you’re no longer subscribing to the mentality that work is the be-all and end-all. And that approach may be a smart one in the age of stress and burnout.

Real talk: #QuietQuitting has been a topic of some controversy for a while now. While I don't condone it, I know people who have, in essence, done it. I realize I'm a GenX'r and previously an entrepreneur and I believe that makes my work-life balance experience different than a lot of professionals, regardless of age. As a business owner, I wanted (not demanded) my contract employees to do their best work for the business that my wife and I co-owned. In my heart, I feel that they did just that. Now, as an employee of a corporation, I want to do my all to make my employer see the value I have to the team I'm on and the organization as a whole. So... I'd like to hear your thoughts on this topic. Do you know someone that has quiet quitted? Or are you in a leadership role over someone who has done this? Is quiet quitting even still a relevant topic? I believe it is. If so, what do you feel is the root cause of it? Yes, there are many different circumstances and reasons why someone could quiet quit, but I think there is a deep root cause for it. I'm also not judging anyone who has quiet quitted. I will say that quiet quitting is a phenomenon I really don't fully grasp. Help me broaden my understanding of why someone would quiet quit.

My team had a water cooler chat about whether "quiet quitting" was disengagement or just setting healthy boundaries. We agreed the difference is more in mindset than behavior. We also talked about goats. If you want to peek in, you can watch the video in this blog (which is also worth a read): https://lnkd.in/eb4PM7Si

Ever noticed someone in your team just going through the motions, doing the bare minimum and gradually checking out? Is their behaviour off, but you can't quite pinpoint why? This is called quiet quitting - and it’s a real productivity and morale killer. Spotting the signs can be tricky, but it’s essential. From staying silent in meetings to feeling disconnected, these subtle behaviours often signal deeper issues. Left unchecked, quiet quitting could escalate into a full-blown, noisy resignation before you know it. But how do you recognise the signs early on?

I HATE the term Quiet Quitting. Just to remind you, Quiet Quitting isn't NOT doing your job. It's not doing MORE than your job in tasks or hours. So, a company is in a pickle, and they need more from their employees. What do they do? 1 - Ask Have an adult conversation about how the business is performing and how you need additional support; remember, people can say no in this situation. You don't know where they are putting their effort at the moment. 2 - Reward Offer an incentive, offer some money, make the requirement the company needs or additional support rewarding; it doesn't even always need to be money. 3 - Negative Labels to Guilt Them Into Doing More This is where quiet quitting lives. A negative label to shame and give people anxiety because who wants people functioning at 100% health when you can have them living in a constant state of anxiety for their job and security? 🚨 HELP NEEDED I am doing a series of videos for learners about HR terms for our CIPD Level 3 course. If there is a term you think should be covered, pop it in the comments.

Are you feeling undervalued at work? Is that causing you to consider quiet quitting? While I can completely understand this, perhaps reframing these feelings can help you enhance your career beyond what you ever imagined.

59% of employees are just "filling a seat and watching the clock" (Gallup report). Quiet quitting isn't about leaving a job. It's when people stay but mentally check out. They do the bare minimum. No excitement. No extra effort. It's a silent alarm. More than half of your team may be losing interest right under your nose. And it's a big deal. Why? Because it affects: • Your team's morale • Your team's productivity • Your company's profitability • And everyone's overall success Resources are already stretched thin. You need to get the best from your team. What can employers do? Many of the causes are within your control: ➡️ Listen Well Talk to your team often. Listen to what they say. Then take action. ➡️ Recognize Efforts Public recognition can boost morale. A simple "thank you" goes a long way. ➡️ Promote Balance Allow time for life outside work. Overworked employees burn out. ➡️ Give Opportunities to Grow Invest in them. Provide training. Show them a career path. ➡️ Build a Positive Culture Ensure everyone feels valued and respected. ➡️ Set Clear Goals Clearly define roles. Tell them what you expect. ➡️ Lead by Example Show excitement. Work hard. Be the way you want them to be. Quiet quitting isn't just an employee issue. It's a leadership opportunity. It's a chance to re-engage, re-inspire, and revitalize your workplace. Start today.
