Are your team quiet quitting on you?

Has the trend toward quiet quitting spread to your team yet? Probably...

According to a recent Gallop poll, over 50% of people are quiet quitting, so most likely, if you are a manager, this is half of your team!

The idea spreading virally on social media is that millions of people are not going above and beyond at work and are just meeting their job description. This is a problem for you as a team leader, because most likely the roles in your team require some level of extra effort to collaborate with colleagues and meet your customer needs, so you can hit your targets

According to the Gallup poll, the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees is now 1.8 to 1. This is the lowest in almost 10 years. As a leader or manager, it will come as no surprise to you that in terms of timing, the fall in engagement began in the second half of 2021 and happened alongside the rise in job resignations. Managers and leaders among others, experienced the greatest drop

The overall decline in engagement was particularly related to clarity of expectations, opportunities to learn and grow, feeling cared about, and a connection to the company’s mission or purpose – showing an increasing disconnect between employees and their employers

A lot of quiet quitters fit Gallup's definition of being 'not engaged' at work - people who do the minimum required and are psychologically detached from their job. To bring this to life, this describes half of the U.S. workforce

What we can see is that quiet quitting is a symptom of poor management and poor leadership

The thing is, what do you do if, despite being ambitious, determined and working as hard as you can, despite feeling exhausted and burnt out yourself, you realise that half of your team may be quiet quitting and you want to change that?

What is the best thing to do, to have the biggest positive impact on the people you are leading?
