Start September off Strong!

Start September off Strong! | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
Discover how you can help you effectively guide your clients toward more meaningful careers and avoid quiet quitting in the future.
James Schreier's insight:

Interesting post, clearly connecting to the widespread discussion of "quiet quitting," but also posting about using the Strong Campbell.  It's something I haven't used in years -- used a lot when working with college students.  Leaning more toward use of CliftonStrengths and the MBTI Career Report now -- but would certainly consider this in the right situation.

• Chart: 'Quiet Quitting' Is All the Rage - Or Is It? | Statista | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
This chart shows awareness and understanding of the term "quiet quitting" among U.S. adults.
James Schreier's insight:

Part of the confusion may because "quiet quitting" is being represented as something new.  It may be a bigger issue today but it's not new.  "Retired on Active Duty" and "I've Quit But Haven't Told Anyone" are well known challenges (and at least one book).  Poor hiring, poor management, and yes, even poor decisions on the part of job seekers, are long-time factors on this issue..
