Opening: The Quiet Crack
One in five of your employees is persistently unhappy at work right now. Not burned out. Not lazy. Just... done. They show up, answer emails, deliver tasks — but the spark that made them valuable is gone.
And here's what's costing you sleep: it's often your formerly high performers who crack first. The line supervisor who used to catch problems now follows the checklist. The mentor stops volunteering. Clients stop feeling heard.
The $8.8 Trillion Problem
Disengaged employees cost the global economy $8.8 trillion annually. Quiet cracking isn't dramatic—there are no big complaints—so traditional surveys and exit interviews miss it until it's too late.
Why it’s Worse Than You Think
9%
Estimated GDP loss due to workplace unhappiness
These employees remain physically present while mentally withdrawn; the cumulative loss in productivity, innovation, and customer relationships compounds fast.
5 Daily Signals
Read micro-behaviors in emails, standups, and quick check-ins to catch disengagement before it erodes performance.
Why They Crack
Top performers shoulder extra tasks and expectations; mounting load depletes motivation, making them more likely to quietly exit.
The True Cost
Turnover costs go beyond hiring—lost knowledge, delayed projects, and customer churn compound across teams over time.
3 Trauma-Responsive Actions
Three practical leadership moves you can apply Monday morning — no long programs, no consultants. These actions change how your team shows up with minimal cost and immediate signal improvement.
- 1-minute check-ins that reveal subtle disengagement
- Re-framing feedback to restore agency and safety
- Micro-redistribution of cognitive load to prevent collapse
How They're Different
These are trauma-responsive, actionable steps rooted in neuroscience and workplace realities — not HR checkbox interventions. They target the early mechanics of quiet cracking, not the late-stage symptoms.
