Quiet quitters affect all of us.
Customers. Colleagues. Inside and outside of work.
You, personally, may be actively disengaged from your job. You know it's not right but you just don't have the motivation to do more than the bare minimum to get you through the day.
​
Or you may be responsible for a team, or business, where quiet quitters are on the rise. They're people who you need to engage with their job, your customers and their colleagues.
​
Don't know what to do about it? You've come to the right place with Exkavate.
What is 'quiet quitting'?
Inspire your people to deliver more than the job description
We help you address engagement issues with proven, effective, approaches that:
-
allow colleagues to safely share what's really going on - particularly in new(ish), hybrid working environments
-
reskill and upskill managers to reduce disengagement and burnout
-
improve individual and team performance
-
increase customer value
-
ensure consistent messaging of your purpose and meaning through internal and external communication and connection
The evidence
Potentially at least half the workforce are 'quiet quitting'. They can't connect how they're earning a living to any meaningful purpose or vision, which means they're going through the motions, feeling lost, despondent and OVER it. And there's a high chance this is you.
Quiet quitters have lost the confidence to know what they want. They're not motivated enough to look for something else. They are stuck, miserable, perhaps resentful and worst of all it's managers who are feeling it the most. Slowly but surely, this disengagement is seeping out across teams and businesses. Customers are getting less than ok service. Revenue is suffering.
​
At least with 'loud quitters' you know where you stand - they've got the energy to let you know what they're unhappy about. But with quiet quitters you've got a real problem.
