HR leaders should keep an open mind when watching these videos. Although some creators seem more disgruntled about the type of job itself, as opposed to management, how employees feel about their jobs can be a reflection of their employer. #QuitTok #Employer #HumanResources

Sometimes as an HR professional I forget we're employees too. This means when we implement HR programs, it can be hard to differentiate between the HR experience we want and the experience people are having. So when we get opportunities to look in the mirror, I say we take those! And not just the "employee surveys telling us their experience through standard questions" mirror, but raw, real-life mirrors like the QuitTok videos making their rounds. It goes without saying that the best antidote is proactively seeking out reasons for employees thinking about leaving. And you likely know the best place to start looking as the top three trends haven’t changed in the last couple of years – compensation, career progression, and work flexibility – as noted in the Achievers 2024 Engagement and Retention Report (https://lnkd.in/gjXg6ryN). BUT if you're already "on-air" then I say lean into the experience and get on your learning hat. I spoke with Mikaela at @HRBrew on a few things HR can learn and do with quitting in the workplace.

If anyone's FYP is like mine, it's all #WorkTok videos, and 'QuitTok' is taking over. Achievers Chief Human Resources Officer Hannah Yardley shares her thoughts on what HR leaders should take from the trend in HR Brew.   My favorite quote from the piece - "..like all good social media, [QuitTok] is exposing the thing that we don’t often talk about or that are in the shadows of what happens in organizations." Thanks to Mikaela Cohen for a great piece!

💬HR Exchange (Week 1)💬 The rise of "QuitTok" videos, where employees publicly resigned and aired grievances on social media platforms like TikTok, has sparked a significant debate in the HR world. The recent case of Brittany Pietsch's departure from Cloudfare, documented in a viral TikTok video, highlights the growing trend and its potential impact on organizations. On one side of the debate, critics argued that QuitTok videos have the potential to cause significant damage to an organization's reputation and brand image. Public resignations can erode shareholders' confidence, deter potential hires, and lead to questions about the company's treatment of employees. Moreover, negative publicity may hinder business development efforts, creating challenges for organizations in maintaining positive relationships with stakeholders. However, there's also a positive angle to consider amidst the potential risks. QuitTok videos, if approached constructively, can provide valuable insights into employee perspectives and organizational issues. HR professionals should view QuitTok content as a form of feedback that can help them build improvement strategies and lead to positive changes within the organization. While QuitTok videos pose risks to organizations, they also offer an opportunity for reflection and improvement. HRs should navigate this trend carefully, leveraging feedback from QuitTok content to foster a more positive and supportive work environment for the employees. Ultimately, addressing employee concerns and promoting transparency can help organizations mitigate the negative impacts of QuitTok while fostering a culture of trust and engagement. #EmployeeEngagement #HRStrategy Read more at:

Employees aren’t just quitting their jobs—they’re filming themselves quitting, and posting the videos on TikTok. The trend, dubbed “QuitTok,” has resulted in over 82 million views. Some videos are actual recordings of conversations with managers, while others are post-resignation reflections. Most show that when workers are fed up with their employment experience, they’re not afraid to go public. Is this a clue that the power balance may be shifting between workers and employers? Is it a positive form of self-advocacy - or do you see it as a form of oversharing? Let me know in the comments! https://lnkd.in/eBkmSNsh By Mikaela Cohen #JobTrends2024 #WorkCulture #Culture Employees aren’t just quitting their jobs—they’re filming themselves quitting, and posting the videos on TikTok.
