People & Culture Club: Quiet Quitting – What you need to know as a people leader
We spend, on average, just shy of 85 thousand hours of our lives at work (sorry for calling out that fun fact!). So it’s no surprise many of us look for roles that bring a sense of purpose, satisfaction and joy. But what happens when the spark just isn’t there any more?
Whilst some might choose to look for a role elsewhere, others fall into another camp: a phenomenon coined ‘quiet quitting’, a trend that’s gone viral across social media. Whilst the term ‘quiet quitting’ is new, the concept behind it certainly isn’t.
Join host Ally Jones and Liz Afolabi as they explore the realms of quiet quitting – and what to do about it. They’ll explore:
- What is quiet quitting? And why it’s something you ought to take seriously
- Why does quiet quitting happen?
- Is quiet quitting simply good boundary setting or is it something more?
- The impact of quiet quitting on the business, particularly in startups and those scaling
- How to spot it – and most importantly, what to do about it
