The silent threat in today’s workplaces isn’t people “quiet quitting,” or doing the bare minimum in their job. It’s employees who stay but are stuck, burned out, and silently disengaging — a newer phenomenon known as “quiet cracking.” Jared Pope, a benefits and employment law attorney and the CEO of Work Shield, joins Marjorie Morrison to discuss the early warning signs HR and people managers often miss and why quiet cracking is harder to spot than traditional burnout. From tackling toxic culture to emphasizing wellness programs, discover practical HR strategies you can use to address disengagement at your organization before it becomes a crisis.  This podcast is approved for .5 PDCs toward SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP recertification.
