The workplace trend that has caught everyone’s attention as we move into a time of recession is called Quiet Quitting. This phenomenon has posed a problem for companies because not only are they seeing their employees demotivated to take initiative, but they are experiencing the outright resistance to take on any work that their teams feel are out of their scope of work.

Research from Dr. Timothy Clark has led us here at Inclusion in Progress to believe, however,  that being more intentional about Psychological Safety in the workplace can help reduce the risk of Quiet Quitting. Listen to this episode to find out how giving your people a place to belong, learn freely, measure their contributions, and oppose the status quo can be advantageous to your teams!
