HR Newsletter: Quick Quitting Trend

As employers navigate trends such as “quiet quitting”—a new term within the employment landscape that refers to workers only doing what their job description entails without going above and beyond—new data revealed that many workers have begun “quick quitting.” That is, in certain industries, workers are quitting their jobs at increasingly high rates before the one-year mark. The emergence of this trend demonstrates that workers in the United States are getting more comfortable leaving their jobs.

LinkedIn’s Workforce Report found that more U.S. workers are leaving their jobs after only being with an organization for a short time, and many are quitting in less than one year. The report analyzed the short tenure rate (STR)—the fraction of positions being held for less than one year—and noticed an increase across industries over the last few years. Short tenures started to rise in August 2021 and peaked in March 2022, when the overall STR was up 9.7% compared with the same period in the prior year. Yet, some sectors are seeing a more significant rise in quick quitting than others.
