The Gap Nobody Talks About

Why 82% Security Still Feels Like Quicksand

Here's a number that should terrify every business leader: 82% of employees feel secure in their current jobs.

Sounds great, right?

Except only 62% feel confident about their future with their company.

That 20-point gap? That's where quiet cracking lives. That's the space between "I probably won't get fired tomorrow" and "I don't see myself here in two years."

And that gap is costing the global economy $8.8 trillion annually.

Quiet cracking isn't about lazy employees. It's persistent workplace unhappiness leading to disengagement. It shows up as:

• Deadly silence after "Does anyone have questions?"

• People attending meetings but mentally checked out

• Your best performers avoiding development opportunities

• Team members just waiting to be told what to do

One in five employees experience this frequently or constantly. Another third experience it occasionally.

That means over half your workforce is quietly cracking.

The Trauma-Responsive System (TRS) offers six components that actually work: Impact-Based Definitions, Elastic Emotions, Connection, Communication, Strength-Spotlighting, and Sustaining Vitality.

These aren't theory. They're practical tools that help people move from erosion to growth.

Maybe you're feeling that gap yourself. Maybe you're a leader watching your team slowly disengage.

The good news? Quiet cracking responds to intervention.
