Tackling “quiet constraint” with next-level engagement
While virtual meetings have become a vital part of the employee experience in workplaces globally, Kahoot!’s recent Workplace Culture Report showed that many companies have not yet optimized them to keep participants truly engaged.
Employees surveyed named online training, meetings, and presentations as the top work activities where they mentally check out, with 45% saying they read or respond to email during virtual meetings, 30% privately messaging other meeting participants, and 20-23% playing with their pet, doodling, or taking a nap.
However, there’s more to it than simply holding people’s attention. Our research also uncovered a new trend, called “quiet constraint,” where 58% of employees overall, and 77% of Gen Z employees, reported that they hold in valuable knowledge at work, rather than sharing it with their team members. Why? Largely, workers said they lack opportunities and resources, their knowledge isn’t recognized, and their talent and self-expression is stifled.
The good news: 77% of workers said they would highly value an engaging way to share knowledge with their co-workers. But how do you bring this to life in virtual meetings?
Kahoot! and Zoom have long been a powerful duo for learning and connecting, and with Kahoot! a part of Zoom’s curated Essential Apps, supercharged engagement and collaborative learning is just a click away.
So, how does it work?
Users with a Zoom One Pro, Business, or Business Plus online subscription will now see the Kahoot! app icon, along with other Essential Apps, on a Dock within the Zoom Meeting.
