Key Thoughts:

• Quiet quitting is a thing! And we are seeing it more and more in the workplace. It is defined as emotionally quitting – tapping out, all while physically still coming in and doing the job. Michele (1:13) 

   

• Every person on the team should know the high level of what the business does, why it does it, who it serves and how their job fits in. Michele (1:58) 

   

• Quiet quitting, when hitting its peak, can show that expectations are out of control and that team members are demanding a realignment. Michele (6:37) 

   

• One of the best ways to reduce quiet quitting is to have one meaningful conversation each week with each employee lasting 15-30 minutes. Michele (7:30)
