In today’s workplace, burnout and disengagement have quietly become strategic business risks rather than isolated wellness concerns. The term quiet cracking—a state of gradual disengagement, mounting pressure and declining performance—has gained traction among HR and organizational leaders as a metric that precedes burnout and attrition. According to recent research, nearly half of employees globally report feeling burned out at work, highlighting the urgency of proactive measures for leaders and HR teams alike. The Senior Executive HR Think Tank—a curated group of experts in employee experience, talent acquisition, DEI, performance management and the evolving role of data and analytics in HR—note that tracking quiet cracking requires metrics and feedback loops that bridge sentiment, behavior and organizational performance. Below, they share how they are operationalizing well-being indicators, turning early signals into strategic interventions and equipping leaders to act before cracks widen into burnout or loss of talent.
