Workplace Behavior: Quiet Quitting

Written By Marilyn Garman

Workplace Behavior: Quiet Quitting 

$9 Trillion per year globally! According to a Gallup article published this past June, this figure represents the associated costs of quiet quitting.  

A person may leave their job for many reasons, including better financial prospects, growth opportunities, toxic workplaces, and burnout. While employees are looking for new opportunities, they minimize their efficacy at their current place of employment as a coping mechanism. 

Managers need to see this behavior as a canary in their workplace coal mine. If folks are checking out to maintain their mental health, there are issues behind-the-scenes leaders should address. Here are the key takeaways from this read: 

  • "Quiet quitting costs the world's economy almost $9 trillion per year

  • Work doesn't make people unhappy; the workplace does

  • Quiet quitting will continue until organizations hire better managers."
