The transition from quiet quitting to quiet hiring

Over the last few years, there’s been a lot of conversation around quiet quitting. This is when an employee disengages and distances themselves from their work responsibilities without formally resigning. Instead of coming out and saying that they’re dissatisfied or resigning, quiet quitters become disinterested, less productive and less involved in their work. This subtle – and quiet – disengagement can be challenging to detect since there may not always be obvious signs of dissatisfaction or the intent to leave. Quiet quitting is a lose-lose situation for both companies and employees.
