The Implications of "Quiet Quitting"
If you're like me, not a day goes by where I don't see an article online about the newest work phenomenon--"quiet quitting." What does this mean exactly and how is it impacting today's workplace? The COVID-19 pandemic forever altered the way we all think about work and life and that distinction was increasingly blurred for many in the change to working from home full-time. According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, many employees, especially younger workers, have found that they can do the minimum required and are not going above and beyond or expending extra time or stress to fully engage, choosing hobbies and lifestyle, or side jobs, over potential job burnout. AXIOS suggests here that company leaders need to invest extra time and resources to find ways to engage employees and share the company mission to help drive commitment, retention, and output. Peter Hansen, AVIXA's Economist, also shared the economic impact of "quiet quitting" in this post. This is a trend which I don't forsee going away any time soon, and does impact several other demographic sectors in addition to younger workers, so organizations need to figure out strategies to further motivate and engage the workforce.

I came across @Brad Sousa, AVI Systems post by JLL and thought it might be interesting as it addresses how firms are acting on the quiet quitting trend.
AVI Systems framed it with:
How are firms addressing quiet quitting? 1) Redesigning the office. 2) Listening to employees. 3) Adding new wellbeing initiatives. "...office design...activation and technology...are elevating the workplace experience." #quietquitting #workspace
