Britons are becoming less engaged with their jobs and less willing to put in extra effort, according to a report, raising questions about the potential impact on the economy.
The trend is sometimes referred to as “quiet quitting”. The term describes employees doing their jobs without showing the same willingness to go beyond their core responsibilities, although the supplied findings do not provide further detail about how the behaviour was measured.
The report identifies a broader decline in workplace engagement among Britons. It also suggests that reduced willingness to make an additional effort at work could have consequences beyond individual workplaces and may be contributing to wider economic pressures.
No further information is available in the supplied material about the report’s authors, the number of people surveyed, the sectors involved or any proposed response. The latest finding is that lower engagement and reduced discretionary effort could be affecting the economy.
