The Great Resignation May Have Stalled, but Quiet Quitting Has Not
– In 2022, 50.6 million US workers quit their jobs.
– This has stalled slightly in 2023 and 2024 however, employee engagement continues to decrease.
– In 2023, 47% of US and Canadian workers (onsite, remote, and hybrid) stated that they are actively looking for a new role with an intent to leave their current job.
– Across the US and Canada, 52% of workers are not engaged, and another 17% are actively disengaged but still employed (aka quiet quitting) – Gallup source.
– Cultural change and managerial training are necessary if you want to improve employee engagement, productivity, innovation, attraction, and retention.
Employee Engagement Is Low and Stress Is High
-Only 31% of employees and managers are “thriving at work”; the stats are lower for onsite workers at only 27%. The main reasons are:
(1) Engagement/ culture (2) Pay and benefits (3) Wellbeing/ Work-life balance.
-Workers feel undervalued, unsupported and/or disconnected from their team; this includes all workers: onsite, remote, and hybrid.
-Managers are also actively disengaged, but don’t blame them; they are stressed. In the US and Canada, 56% of actively disengaged managers (51% of employees) report stress at work. Engagement and stress are connected. Your management policies and practices can affect both.
