Who Are Quiet Quitters? (5)
I see. So, who do you interview?
Those who worked closed with the employee who ahs left the company are obviously the first people we should talk to. They’re the most likely to do the same thing, or at least think about it. We also focus on employees who are similar to the leaver in terms of performance and years of service. Reverse exit interviews can help identify workplace problems and provide insight on how to keep others from leaving.
Many businesses see tough economic times ahead, and so they’re paying closer attention to performance evaluation. And we all thought reviews were a relic of a pre-pandemic past.
Companies took an approach of benign neglect, so to speak, to monitoring employee performance during Covid-19. It hardly seemed fair to grade someone who had to juggle work with increased responsibilities at home. Many workers, not to mention managers, won’t be happy to see the return of performance reviews. After years of remote work and pandemic-induced stress, they feel they’ve proved they can produce good work without the specter ofan annual assessment hanging over them.
Without performance reviews, though, workers have little insight into how managers make decisions about promotions, equity and pay. In some companies, such evaluations will identify and report low performers and workers thought to be coasting. The idea is to identify underperformers and show them the door.
