The quietest way companies lose great people

The quietest way companies lose great people?

Ignoring consent. 🙃

When employees feel forced instead of included, they start checking out:

👉 They stop sharing ideas.

👉 They stop trusting leadership.

👉 They start updating their resumes.

And just like that, your best talent slips away silently.

It’s because no one asked simple questions like:

→ “Do you have capacity for this?”

→ “Would you like to lead this?”

→ “Are you okay with this deadline?”

Skipping consent doesn’t save time.

✅ It builds resentment.

✅ It fuels quiet quitting.

✅ It breaks trust.

In the end, it costs you loyal team members, innovation, and a reputation you can’t buy back.

Real culture is built on respect.

Ask first. Listen often.

That’s how you keep people not just employed, but engaged.

Free pizza is great. But people stay where they feel seen.
