Are You Quiet Quitting?
I have to make an apology.
I’ve been chatting to lots of women throughout this year who are struggling to keep up at work.
They:
Put huge expectations on themselves to be “available” on Slack or email or phone.
Have a “guilt list”: a list of overdue or old items that no one’s chasing them for but they feel incredibly guilty not to have gotten to.
Feel distracted, find it hard to focus, don’t think they’re optimising their working hours.
But in a training I took last week, I found a new layer to all this.
In it, we went through Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace Report from 2023.
I want to share the statistics for the three categories they measured for employees globally.
Employee Engagement 2023
23% of you are thriving at work and engaged.
59% (!) of you are quiet quitting and not engaged.
18% are loud quitting and actively disengaged.
My apology is: I didn’t realise so many of you might be sitting in categories 2 or 3.
That would be making a huge impact on your motivation day to day and I have really useful strategies to help so stay tuned on the blog!
In the meantime, make sure you do your work/life balance calculation if you haven't already.
