Ep 24: When Managers Admit to “Quiet Firing”

Ep 24: When Managers Admit to “Quiet Firing”

Brett & Jack discuss what might be a popular response to employees “quiet quitting” or what among managers has been dubbed “quiet firing” – the withdrawal of coaching, support and career development to an employee, which results in pushing the employee out of an organization.

This episode’s featured Workplace Champions share their different perspectives on how to manage their organization’s talent as a collective unit. Brett believes that human capital pain points are challenging finance leaders to carefully reconsider how to best manage employees and forfeit dated models that may have treated employees as just another asset that can depreciate overtime.

This episode features the workforce insights and commentary of CFO Brian Gladden of Zelis, CFO Razzak Zallow of Floqast, CFO Kevin Rubin of Alteryx  and CFO James Moylan of Ciena.

More keenly aware of the competitive price of employee burnout and workforce attrition — many midsize companies are today busy rethinking how they attract, hire and inspire employees.

The Workplace Champions Podcast explores the innovative workforce practices of talent-minded business leaders tasked with opening a new chapter of growth for their midsize organizations.
