Gallup recently sounded the alarm on the employee engagement crisis. A survey revealed that nearly 60% of 120,000 of the world’s workers are quiet quitting or not engaging, and 18% are actively disengaged, which Gallup labeled as loud quitting.
This is a surprise to the public, but Human Resources professionals saw this coming. In the State of HR survey, they listed employee engagement as their number one priority and burnout as the biggest challenge. In 2022, employees had returned to pre-pandemic levels of engagement before media attention turned to quiet quitting. This was a phrase used to describe people setting boundaries with their employees, sticking to a fixed schedule, and meeting requirements of their job without going above and beyond.
