Upskill to Uplift: The Antidote to Quiet Cracking
According to work streamlining platform monday.com, 54% of employees are quiet cracking as a result of an unstable economy, job insecurity, and a lack of connection.
In the fast-paced, results-driven world of health and fitness, it’s easy to focus solely on physical transformation, whether it’s clients hitting their goals or facilities upgrading equipment. But what about the people behind the business?
One of the root causes of disengagement, ‘quiet cracking’, is the creeping feeling of stagnation. Staff start to disconnect not because they’ve stopped caring, but because they’ve stopped growing. And when growth stalls, performance soon follows.
That’s where up-skilling becomes a powerful tool for retention and reinvigoration.
