Women in HR | 'Snail girl' is the new work trend - but why are buzzwords all about women trying less?

'Snail girl' is the new work trend - but why are buzzwords all about women trying less?

Snail Girl is the latest work trend - following hot on the heels of Lazy Girl, Girl Dinner and Girl Math(s).

All these trends are about women doing less, being less committed to the activity they're doing, working with less effort, putting in less 'oomph' when it comes to work.

For women in HR, it's time to sit up and notice, and wonder why women are keen to be part of these trends, asking yourselves 'What is it about 'going slow' that appeals to the women in my organisation'?

Snail girl was coined by creator Hello Sisi, and she outlined it further, saying: “The snail girl goes slow, retreats when she needs and follows the path at her own pace.”
