This webinar, led by thought leader Adam A. Smith, will provide business leaders and professionals of all ages with an understanding of the concept of quiet quitting and tools on how to create work environments where all team members do not merely survive, but thrive.
The concept of “quiet quitting” has taken over our TikTok and Instagram feeds—stories about young professionals rejecting the “grind” and thus not going above and beyond for careers that they now claim do not define them. The impact of COVID-19 on young professionals has been profound, and many are now refusing to let work stress, difficult bosses, and workplace politics rule their lives—leading to what we now deem the Great Resignation. But this is only half the story: only around 3% of Black women returned to work after the COVID-19 lockdown. People of color have always faced increased demands in a workplace that forces them to “work twice as hard to get just as far,” and many argue that they do not have the option to quiet quit because they still have undue pressure in the workplace, as well as having to deal with extensive micromanagement and institutional cultures that require overachievement for mere recognition.
This webinar, led by thought leader Adam A. Smith, will provide business leaders and professionals of all ages with an understanding of the concept of quiet quitting and tools on how to create work environments where all team members do not merely survive, but thrive.
