(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — The so-called Great Resignation is being followed by another trend: “quiet quitting.”
It has turned into a social media trend that is making corporate human resources departments stand up and take notice.
Quiet quitting is described as employees doing exactly what's expected of them and nothing more. They are avoiding late nights, early mornings and emails at all hours of the day.
The quiet quitters say it is a form of prioritizing mental health over working long hours for no reason.
Rick Cobb, founder of the workplace consulting firm Two Discern in Chicago, says employers should take notice. A worker who is not motivated could suggest the workplace culture is to blame and not the individual, he tells the Noon Business Hour.
“One of the things that leadership has to look at is: Is this something that we own? Are we creating a situation by the way that we work with our people?
“Or, is it the person that doesn’t fit the culture and the company?”
He added that it doesn't take much to change workplace culture in one direction or the other.
