Why Your Employees Are Quiet Quitting – And What Your HR System Can Do About It

Employee disengagement is a growing concern for UK businesses. Recent studies reveal that 19% of UK employees are 'quiet quitting', meaning they are doing the bare minimum at work.🔗 Source: HR News

This trend not only hampers productivity — it quietly eats away at morale, culture, and long-term performance.

What Is Quiet Quitting?

“Quiet quitting” isn’t about quitting your job — it’s about disengaging from going above and beyond. Employees still show up, but they don’t stretch themselves.

Common causes include:

👎 Lack of recognition or feedback
🚫 No clear growth path or learning opportunities
⚖️ Poor work-life balance or burnout
🧊 Weak manager-employee communication

It’s not always about laziness — it's often a sign of system failure, not personal failure.

💡 How a Modern HRIS Can Help Reverse the Trend

A Human Resource Information System (HRIS) like Employment Hero, implemented by Technoivity, can identify and solve the root causes of disengagement.

Employees stay in the loop with updates, policies, benefits, and goals — all accessible from one central place. No more confusion, no more information silos.🔗 How HRIS Improves Communication – LinkedIn

An HRIS can integrate professional development opportunities — like onboarding tracks, eLearning, or leadership pathways — all within one dashboard.

✅ 4. Work-Life Balance Tools
