Quiet quitting is preventable. The signs—minimal effort, reduced initiative, and social withdrawal—often point to unmet needs for growth, recognition, and respect. The causes, such as unclear expectations, burnout, or toxic work environments, are challenges we can solve. Here’s how strength-based leadership can help on a corporate level: 1. Foster Growth Opportunities: Create clear paths for career advancement. Invest in professional development programs and mentorship opportunities so employees see a future in your organization. 2. Build a Positive Workplace Culture: Prioritize inclusivity, trust, and open communication. Encourage team-building activities that promote belonging and mutual respect. 3. Set Clear Expectations: Establish clear goals and roles for employees. Ensure alignment between their work and the company’s mission. 4. Recognize Contributions: Recognition goes a long way in motivating employees. Celebrate wins, big and small, and offer meaningful feedback. 5. Support Mental Health and Prevent Burnout: Introduce wellness programs, encourage work-life balance, and check in regularly with your team. A healthy employee is a productive employee. 6. Develop Strong Leadership: Train managers to lead with empathy, fairness, and vision. Leaders set the tone—when they care, the team cares. Leadership isn’t just about managing work; it’s about empowering people. By investing in your team, you create a culture of engagement, innovation, and resilience. Let’s not wait for signs of disengagement—let’s prevent it by showing our people they matter. #Leadership #QuietQuitting #EmployeeEngagement #StrengthBasedLeadership #CorporateCulture #WellnessAtWork

📢 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗻 In Gallup's "State of the Global Workplace 2023 Report", 59% of the global workforce is doing it. It is happening regardless of geographic location, industry type, or even personal ambition. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 refers to employees doing the bare minimum required in their jobs without going above and beyond or engaging in any discretionary effort. It's not about physically leaving a job but rather mentally and emotionally checking out. 🔍 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴? Quiet quitting occurs due to various factors related to the work environment, employee well-being, and broader societal trends. Here are some of the primary reasons: 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 😓 Prolonged exposure to high stress and heavy workloads can lead to burnout, causing employees to disengage as a means of coping. Insufficient time for rest and recovery leads to fatigue and reduced motivation to go beyond basic job requirements. 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🎖️ When employees feel that their hard work and contributions are not acknowledged or rewarded, they may lose motivation to put in extra effort. Lack of meaningful incentives and recognition programs can contribute to feelings of undervaluation. 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 ⚖️ Employees striving to maintain a healthier work-life balance may consciously choose to limit their work to the bare minimum to preserve personal time and well-being. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 ❌ When job demands exceed what was initially communicated or expected, employees may pull back to protect their mental and physical health. Employees in roles that do not align with their skills, interests, or values are more likely to disengage. 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🏡 Remote work can lead to feelings of isolation and disconnectedness from the company culture and colleagues, reducing engagement. Inadequate communication and collaboration in remote settings can make employees feel less involved and committed. 🔎 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 🛠️ Stay tuned for our next articles to learn the effects of quiet quitting how to combat these factors. ✏ Every week, we share valuable tips to enhance your management understanding.

🔇 The Rise of Silent Quitting: A Signal We Can't Ignore 📌 Over the past few months, silent quitting has become a trending topic in the workplace conversation. It’s not about workers leaving their jobs, but about doing only the minimum required — no extra hours, no passion projects, no above-and-beyond. 📌But what drives this? Silent quitting is often a reflection of burnout, disengagement, or unmet expectations. Employees may feel undervalued, overworked, or unclear about growth opportunities. Instead of pushing harder, they choose to reclaim their work-life balance and focus on what they are compensated for. 📌As leaders, this is a wake-up call. Rather than expecting more from employees, we need to listen more. Are we providing meaningful work? Are we fostering environments where employees feel connected and valued? Are we offering support to prevent burnout before it hits? 📌It’s time to rethink the relationship between engagement and productivity. Silent quitting might just be the first step toward rebalancing how we define work in the modern world. Let’s create spaces where everyone can thrive. #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement #WorkCulture #SilentQuitting #FutureOfWork #remotework #worklifebalance

Obviously some companies address workplace happiness issue better than others, but all companies face the constant challenge. The article below makes good points about what companies can do, but I think it leaves out something important. The most cost efficient way a company can help employees is to inspire them to want to be better themselves. For example, instead of spending on forced employee gatherings and socialization, find a way to inspire employees to want to gather and socialize themselves. Human beings want to be happy and don't want to be coddled, but we all need a reminder or nudge sometimes. Effective motivational speakers will know how to "nudge" in the right way. The flat path of negativity and disparagement is the easier path to walk, but it's circular and boring. The tilted positive path up offers way more views and chances for excitement. No one can make us walk it though, we have to push ourselves to do it. It can be slippery and steep, it was very much so for me, but it's 100% worth the hike. This is the message I will share. https://lnkd.in/e8iH7dTw #positive mindset #happy #productive #wellness

Feeling like quitting due to minor workplace conflicts? Pause and reflect. Remember, new environments may present similar challenges. You've invested time in understanding your current colleagues - and they've done the same with you. The new place may have similar challenges. True growth comes from accepting slight discomfort and adapting. It's about evolving, not running away. However, never compromise on respect or safety. For serious issues, speak up to management or trusted leaders. The workplace is a learning ground. Embrace the journey of self-improvement and relationship building. Share a time when you overcame a workplace challenge by adapting instead of quitting. And, how did it impact your professional growth? #ProfessionalGrowth #WorkplaceChallenges #CareerDevelopment

Have you ever faced workplace challenges that led you to reconsider your role? I once found myself in a situation where I was tasked with executing plans that turned out to be unsuccessful. Despite my efforts, I was held accountable for the outcomes. This experience made me realize the importance of prioritizing my well-being. Over time, I recognized the need to take a step back. After years of dedication, I made the tough decision to exit. It was not easy, but ultimately essential for my personal growth and peace of mind. Workplace dynamics can sometimes push us to reassess our paths. It's crucial to prioritize self-care and make decisions that align with our values. #WorkplaceChallenges #SelfCare #CareerDecisions

The 90-Hour Workweek: At What Cost? Recently, the CEO of L&T made headlines with a comment suggesting people should work 90 hours a week. While I understand the intent might be to emphasize dedication and hard work, we must pause and ask ourselves: at what cost? As someone who advocates for mental health and work-life balance, I believe that success should never come at the expense of our well-being. Overworking doesn’t just lead to burnout; it can harm productivity, creativity, and even the relationships that give life its meaning. In today’s world, true leadership is about fostering environments where employees can thrive holistically—mentally, physically, and emotionally. Encouraging sustainable workloads, respecting personal time, and promoting mental health should be priorities for every leader. Let’s redefine success as a balance between achieving professional goals and maintaining a fulfilling personal life. Because a rested, motivated workforce is far more valuable than one running on empty. What are your thoughts on the 90-hour workweek? How do you balance dedication with your well-being? Let’s discuss. #MentalHealth #WorkLifeBalance #Leadership #Burnout #EmployeeWellbeing #FutureOfWork #SustainableWorkplace #CareerGrowth #WorkCulture #HealthyWorkLife

Your neurodivergent employees may be experiencing sensory overload every day. Could this be the hidden cause behind quiet quitting in your organisation? 🤔 Before working with Exceptional Individuals, people we support often tell us that after work, they would go home and collapse into bed, retreating into total darkness. They had no more spoons—no energy left—because the sensory overload at work had completely drained them. Bright, glaring lights 💡, constant noise ☎️, and overcrowded spaces 🗣️ left them mentally and physically exhausted. By the time they got home, they had no energy to cook dinner 🍽️ or spend time with loved ones ❤️. As an HR professional, you may notice employees becoming more withdrawn in meetings 🤐, disengaged from their tasks 📉, or frequently taking time off 📅. These signs are not about lack of motivation; they’re symptoms of sensory overload. Here are three tips to transform your workplace and help your neurodivergent employees thrive: Adjust the lighting 💡 – Replace harsh fluorescent lights with softer, adjustable options to reduce eye strain and stress. Create quiet zones 🛋️ – Set up areas where employees can escape noise and sensory distractions, helping them recharge and focus better. Provide noise-cancelling devices 🎧 – A simple solution for reducing auditory distractions, allowing employees to concentrate without constant noise interruptions (also great for social signalling). By making these adjustments, you’ll foster a more inclusive workplace 🌱, improve employee well-being, and reduce turnover 📈.
