Quiet Quitting Rises as Indian Employees Withdraw Engagement Without Resigning
A growing trend of 'quiet quitting' is emerging in India's workforce, where employees meet job requirements but withdraw extra effort and engagement. This phenomenon reflects a broader generational shift, with workers like Tanya and Sameer doing only the minimum despite their skills and experience. Gallup's 2026 report highlights low engagement levels, with many employees psychologically detached yet remaining in their roles due to financial or personal reasons. This disengagement poses challenges beyond resignation rates, affecting workplace motivation and productivity.
