The viral quiet quitting trend is taking hold in finance — once the industry with the most engaged workers, according to a new study.
The share of workers who said they’re "very likely” or "extremely likely” to try their hardest to do a good job for their company has waned overall since last year, according to a recent survey of more than 9,000 U.S. full-time or part-time employees by Qualtrics International Inc.
The finance and insurance sector had one of the biggest drops, with about 8% fewer employees reporting willingness to give it their all on the job, matched only by accommodations and food services. That’s a big change from 2021, when the finance and insurance industry claimed the highest share of engaged employees at 94%.
