In human resources, quiet thriving refers to employees who actively craft their job in order to stay engaged and improve their mental state.[1][2][3] Quiet thriving provides employees with a sense of agency that builds resilience and allows employees to find purpose in their roles and reduces occupational burnout.[4][5] Quiet thriving may lead to additional career opportunities.[6][7]

Motivated employees within dysfunctional organizations with poor leadership often opt to take initiative through quiet thriving instead of quiet quitting.[8]

The term was coined by Lesley Alderman, a New York city-based psychotherapist, in a December 2022 Washington Post article in response to quiet quitting.[9][10][11]
