Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:
Q: What percentage of your workforce do you suspect is "quiet quitting”?
Less than 10% - 26%
10-25% - 28%
25-50% - 31%
More - 15%
While the phrase “Quiet Quitting” has been popularized, the sentiment of people checking out (figuratively) has been around for decades. Results show that 46% of employers think more than 25% of their workforce is in this state. The follow up question comes down to what employers can do about it. Digging into where you fall short is only part of this. Acting on the data is crucial. Looking for answers on what to do next? The experts at Alaant are here to help. Reach out today.
