Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Researchers explored the phenomenon of “Quiet Quitting” (QQ), which has occurred since the COVID-19 pandemic. QQ is when employees minimize their efforts, doing only the bare minimum required to avoid dismissal. After interviewing 1,430 individuals from different industries and regions, they devised a 10-item scale to understand and measure this new behavior. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
