Wigert added : “ The optimal engagement boost occurs when employees spend 60 % to 80 % of their time – or three to four days in a five-day workweek – working off-site .
" Low employee engagement can hinder the development of a strong and inclusive company culture , making it challenging to achieve ambitious goals .”
The pressure to hire new workers will in turn have an impact on the maintenance of operations and increase training budgets in an already stagnant economy .
Myburgh said CRS Technologies has drafted a few guidance points that businesses can use to better manage the quiet quitting trend and avoid having to take drastic measures to control a frustrated , confused and tired labour force .
Key factors to consider include :
• Keep increases in workload short-term
• Compensate your team
• Make stepping up optional
• Be upfront about role growth
• Utilise employee recognition strategies
• Build rapport and relationships
Myburgh said : “ Like many labour-related issues in business today , quiet quitting is something that won ’ t be easily dealt with or quickly eliminated .
" But a consistent , well-thought-out strategy that is well communicated and in line with compliance and governance policies and practice will most certainly help to eliminate many potential problems . CRS Technologies has extensive product and technology knowledge and is committed to adding value to its clients .” x
