Customer Support
Companies have been dealing with high turnover and resignations as employees returned to work following the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, employees are prioritizing their well-being and leaving organizations for work environments that better fit their needs.

Learning Objectives:
Discuss the “silent quitting” phenomenon and highlight warning signs.
Understand the business impact of disengaged employees.
