What companies need to know about quietquitting ~
Quiet quitting is a new term that refers to an employee doing the bare minimum when it comes to their work responsibilities, which has the potential to negatively impact their employer.
However, as the world returns to some semblance of normality, an increasing number of employees are trying to restore this balance through quiet quitting. One possible reason could be that an employee is not being managed efficiently, so they might feel overworked and stressed, or underworked and bored.According to a recent report in Harvard Business Review, the findings indicate that quiet quitting is usually less about an employee’s willingness to work harder, and more about a manager’s ability to manage an employee’s workload.
“When most were working from home during the early stages of the pandemic, many employees felt that they had more autonomy over their work responsibilities and their productivity and motivation actually increased. As the workforce slowly heads back to the office – either on a full-time or hybrid basis – this paradigm shift to a feeling that their way of working is under renewed scrutiny could result in resentment.
Employers therefore need to have effective communication channels in place. They need to be able to see if an employee is unhappy, unwell, or feeling over or underutilised.
