As the concept of “quiet quitting” gained attention over the last year, employers must now also be aware of the emerging trend of “loud quitting” or active disengagement at work. Gallup’s 2023 State of the Global Workplace report revealed that almost 20% of employees are “loud quitting.”
Though the number of disengaged quiet quitters is larger at 59%, the impact of loud quitters can have lasting negative effects on company culture and morale. Loud quitters exhibit behaviors that directly undermine the business, which can lead to a breakdown of trust, communication and eventually, direct opposition.
