Soon after “quiet quitting” made headlines, another term emerged in HR circles: “quiet hiring.” The phrase may be new, but the concept isn’t.
Quiet hiring is the practice of developing employees and moving them to a new role or focus area to help businesses adapt to changing needs. It allows people to learn skills, follow new passions, or be reassigned from one team to another to meet the evolving needs of a quickly growing business.
Some examples of quiet hiring are training factory workers on new equipment before a product launch or redeploying tax specialists to other projects after tax season.
