It has gone quiet around the topic of Quiet Quitting – where has the focus turned? Rage Applying has replaced Quiet Quitting in terms of media attention – with each new topic coming from a lack of employee engagement.

Wilson Learning believes a leader’s purpose is to “Engage others in committing their full energy to the creation of value and success.” Employees would choose to engage only when they positively perceive what is happening in the organization. Unfortunately, with the absolute uproar over the last 3 years, a new term has surfaced that runs counter to that thought, referred to as “Quiet Quitting.”

Quiet Quitting refers to “Doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary.” Wilson Learning firmly believes that the objective of a Quiet Quitter is to remain undetected, hence the term quiet.
