What Workers Want

Paige McAllister, Affinity HR Group's VP of Compliance, recently penned an article on "Quiet Quitting in Your Workplace". This viral topic has generated numerous news stories, many with different takes on what “quiet quitting” actually means.

According to Gallup, 18% of the workforce is actively disengaged as compared to 32% who are actively engaged.

The significant drop in engagement post-pandemic, especially for those that are younger than 35, is primarily due to the:

the lack of having someone at work to care about them and their development, especially from their manager
the lack of opportunities to learn and grow
the lack of a clear understanding of what is expected of them, especially in remote or hybrid work arrangements

To back this up, the Harvard Business Review analyzed several surveys and responses about employee engagement and found that the managers who were the most “willing to go the extra mile” for their employees had 62% of their employees giving extra effort on the job.

In this week's HR Minute video, Claudia St. John talks about workforce transformations caused in part by "The Great Resignation" and "Quiet Quitting" and helps answer what employers can do to better address the needs of their employees.
