Despite being a trend that emerged almost two years ago, the phenomenon of "quiet quitting" persists in the corporate world. A recent Gallup report reveals that approximately 62% of employees worldwide are disengaged at work. This translates to individuals only meeting the minimum requirements and feeling detached from their roles. The 2024 State of the Global Workplace report by Gallup, which surveyed over 128,000 individuals across 160 countries, paints a concerning picture. Shockingly, another 15% of the global workforce is actively disengaged, meaning they are openly opposed to their employer's objectives. The combined impact of these two categories of employees is staggering, costing the global economy a significant $8.9 trillion annually, equivalent to 9% of the global GDP. These findings underscore the importance of addressing employee engagement and satisfaction in organizations to enhance productivity and overall success. #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceSatisfaction #GlobalEconomy #GallupReport Shireen HilalEthan Chazin, MBABrian BirgeBrian AuerbachMelih OztalayChristopher SalemMerriLyn Gibbs, MSEric Sarver, Esq.

“A recent Gallup report reveals that approximately 62% of #employees worldwide are disengaged at work. This translates to individuals only meeting the minimum requirements and feeling detached from their roles.” Did you see that? ONLY MEETING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. That’s not disengagement. That’s probably #WorkLifeBalance and fulfilling on #agreements. Often when employees are not going above and beyond, it’s because #employers are asking more and more from them without any additional benefit to them and their co-workers. If they are feeling detached, it might be that they realize there is more to them and life than work. That doesn’t mean they don’t care about their jobs or won’t do what they agreed to do. However, they will set boundaries and will not be exploited for the sole benefit of their employers and its shareholders. If you want to receive more, you have to give more. And don’t assume more money, benefits, or perks will do the trick. You have to learn what employees want and need by *gasp* talking to them and *GASP* #listening. #EmploymentIsAPartnership #EmployeeEngagement (Forgive my snark this morning. I need more sleep!)

Quiet quitting lives on. Around 62% of employees globally are not engaged at work, meaning they are doing the minimum required, and detached from their job, according to Gallup’s 2024 State of the Global Workplace report released today. On top of that, another 15% of the global workforce is actively disengaged at work, or actively opposed to their employer’s goals. These two groups of employees together are costing the global economy a whopping $8.9 trillion, or 9% of the global GDP, annually. “People don't want to come to work and just be lethargic and not inspired. But when they don't get their needs met, that can happen,” Jim Harter tells Fortune.

The Gallup Poll 2022: The State of Workplace Engagement: A Snapshot of American Workers In 2023, 33% of employees were engaged, while 50% were not engaged (quiet quitting) and 16% were actively disengaged (loud quitting), according to Gallup's most recent survey of U.S. employee engagement. Consider the possible following reasons. 1. Lack of meaningful work or purpose. 2. Poor management or leadership.  3. Limited opportunities for growth or development. 4. Unhappiness with work-life balance. 5. Unclear expectations or goals. 6. Unaddressed conflicts or issues. 7. Feeling undervalued or unappreciated. 8. Poor company culture or values. 9. Monotony or repetition in work tasks. 10. Lack of autonomy or control over work. 11. Insufficient recognition or rewards. 12. Burnout or exhaustion. This isn't being judgmental in any way, but it begs the question of how these people are making it through each day. #aicontentwriter

Tipping Point: Attrition & Retention An employee's decision to stay or leave often hinges on three critical factors: 1️⃣ Inclusion – Every employee wants to be heard and valued. Ignoring opinions leads to disengagement. 2️⃣ Fair Compensation – The balance between responsibility and remuneration must be clear. Underpaying while overworking is a recipe for dissatisfaction. 3️⃣ Respect for Paid Time Off – Employees shouldn’t have to justify taking time for themselves. Paid leaves are earned, not a favor. Address these, and you'll retain happier, motivated teams. These are my learnings from managerial role. #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeRetention #Inclusion #Leadership #FairPay #WorkLifeBalance #Attrition #Retention

The relationship between employees and employers is a delicate dance. On one hand, employers need dedicated and skilled individuals to drive their business forward. On the other hand, employees seek a workplace that fosters growth, offers fair compensation, and prioritizes well-being. So, how can we achieve a balance that benefits both parties? Regular check-ins, clear expectations, and a culture of open dialogue are crucial. Employees feel valued when their voices are heard, and employers gain valuable insights to improve the work environment. Companies that invest in employee development through training and growth opportunities see a strong return on their investment. It fosters loyalty and keeps employees engaged. Recognizing the importance of personal time is key. Flexible work arrangements, fair leave policies, and a culture that discourages burnout contribute to a happier and more productive workforce.

🔇 A silent revolution is brewing in the workplace, and it's costing companies trillions. "Quiet quitting" is a growing concern where employees disengage from their roles without formally resigning. According to Gallup, nearly 60% of employees globally are quiet quitters, performing only the bare minimum due to a lack of passion and connection to their work. Recognizing the signs of quiet quitting, such as reduced engagement and increased absenteeism, is crucial for HR leaders. HR professionals have a pivotal role to play in addressing this silent crisis by creating a positive workplace culture.
