Quiet Cracking and Resilience
About this Program
Quiet cracking occurs when employees feel undervalued, leading to decreased engagement. If left unaddressed, it can result in lower productivity, reduced creativity and innovation, and even resignation (or termination). The good news is that quiet cracking can be reversed by acknowledging feelings and fostering open, honest conversations with management. It’s not a reflection of an employee’s commitment or character, but rather the result of holding back concerns, feeling unheard, and disengaging from the team. Instead of assigning blame, learn how to take proactive steps to re-engage and take decisive actions to feel engaged again!
