Overview

In this TVNZ Breakfast segment, Cultivate Co-Founder and Co-CEO Trina Jones discusses the rise of “quiet quitting” and what it reveals about employee engagement and workplace culture. She explains that rather than employees disengaging without cause, the trend often reflects deeper organisational and leadership factors.

What is “Quiet Quitting”?

Quiet quitting doesn’t mean employees are resigning, it refers to employees doing the core requirements of their role without going beyond. This can be influenced by:

• Burnout or unsustainable workloads - especially in the post pandemic enviornment
• Lack of recognition or support
• Limited connection to purpose or progression

‍

What it Means for Organisations

Trina highlights that quiet quitting is an opportunity for reflection and improvement. Organisations can strengthen engagement by focusing on:

• Clear, supportive leadership
• Positive workplace culture
• Meaningful career development
• Ensuring employees feel valued and connected

Key Takeaway

Quiet quitting is not simply an employee issue, it’s a signal for organisations to evolve. By investing in leadership, culture, and employee experience, organisations can build more engaged, resilient, and high-performing teams.
