Talent Retention in the Age of Quiet Quitting: Rethinking Employee Engagement and Motivation

Abstract

This Research Paper traces the growing dilemma for companies of keeping hold of their best people at a time of ‘quiet quitting’. It examines the reasons why, in a post-COVID world, organizations will have to rethink the way they think about motivating and engaging employees in an environment when employees very well may “be there” but not be there. But the book is not just a deep dive into the causes of disengaged workers; it has academic explanations about how meaning, autonomy and community can be fostered in the workplace. Drawing on a review of the literature, the survey and evidence on the workplace, the research hopes to offer practical advice for attracting and retaining staff in today’s work.
