Where Are the Workers? From the Great Resignation to Quiet Quitting

The global workforce is undergoing a massive, silent transformation. This video dives deep into the latest research to answer the burning question: Where have all the workers gone? We'll move beyond the headlines of the 'Great Resignation' to explore the more subtle, pervasive trend of 'Quiet Quitting'—where employees stay in their jobs but disengage, doing the bare minimum. Using data and analysis, we'll uncover the real reasons behind this shift, from burnout and a search for meaning to changing workplace expectations. We'll also discuss what this means for the future of work, productivity, and how companies can adapt to this new reality. If you're an employee feeling stuck, a manager wondering about team morale, or just curious about the modern economy, this breakdown is for you.
