Performance punishment
View on WikipediaIn human resources, performance punishment also known as quiet promotion refers to the burdening of high-performing employees with additional work, often without compensation or promotion.[1][2][3] It is related to quiet hiring, the practice of having an employee take on a new responsibilities or a role within their company due to need.[4] The role may be temporary or permanent, and the reassignment may not align with employee interests.[4] Quiet hiring often occurs during economic slowdowns as a cost-saving measure.[4]
Performance punishment can lead to occupational burnout, resentment, and a sense of being undervalued leading to morale loss.[1] Performance punishment of high-performers may also limit opportunities for improvement of low-performers and alternative growth opportunities for high-performers.[5] Performance punishment allows for performance deficits of low-performers to be ignored.[6]
Performance punishment can be mitigated by having work fairly distributed, promoting skills development, and transparent communication.[7]
Performance punishment and quiet hiring may negatively impact employee engagement with reassigned employees quiet quitting or mentally checking out.[8] Quiet hiring may promote the utilization of nontraditional labor pools and allow workers to gain new skills and try out new roles for career development. [9][10] Quiet hiring encourages the promotion of internal employees over external hiring.[11]
Covid-19
[edit]The terms quiet promotion[12][13] and quiet hiring[14][15][16] arose in response to the Great Resignation following the COVID-19 pandemic in response to quiet quitting, though the practice was previously in place.[17][18][19] Quiet promotions may be due to a staffing shortage or cost-cutting measures.[12][20]
