In the age of quiet quitting, here’s how to build a positive workplace culture

Whether it’s quiet quitting, quiet hiring, or resenteeism the workplace is now under excruciating examination. 

It’s a particularly difficult time for SMB owners and managers. Stubbornly high inflation, talent shortages and rising interest rates just add more pressure to the SMBs struggling to make ends meet. What isn’t helping the situation is the perfect storm of a high-pressure business environment colliding with the always-on, unrelenting world of social media. 

How employees are managing stressors

The result is workplace trends and memes; quiet quitting — where employees disengage and do the bare minimum; quiet hiring — where employers increase the responsibility of an employee without a commensurate rise in compensation; and resenteeism — remaining in a job whilst being fundamentally unhappy.
