Kickoffs also start overtime halves, and they restart gameplay every time a player scores a goal. A kickoff takes place in the center circle in the middle of a soccer field.

Unfortunately for businesses, this behavior is widespread. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report for 2022 shows employee engagement is low worldwide, with only a measly 21% of employees feeling engaged at work. That trend brings us to an important question. What exactly is quiet quitting?
