Education / Training
A new buzz word is going around which seems to not actually mean what it is meant to convey. Quiet quitting seems to have been ascribed to younger team members. Media reports make it seem as though the younger generation is lazy, disengaged, avoids hard work, or lacks initiative. If we think about a combination of a 2-year pandemic, increasing construction spending, challenges recruiting and retaining team members, and a physically taxing industry, is should not be a surprise that there has been a shift in attitude about work.
