Emerging workplace engagement trends

Overview

A new workplace trend called ‘Quiet Thriving’ is emerging as a positive alternative to ‘Quiet Quitting’. While the latter involved employees doing the bare minimum due to disengagement, ‘Quiet Thriving’ describes a mindset where workers proactively seek to make their jobs more interesting, meaningful, and aligned with their personal values.

This shift follows a period of significant workforce disengagement. Data from September 2022 indicated that at least 50% of the US workforce experienced disinterest or lack of motivation, a trend that gained significant social media traction. Factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic prompted many, particularly Gen Z, to re-evaluate the role of work in relation to personal identity and corporate values.
