On today’s episode of the RecruitingDaily Podcast, William Tincup talks to James Micklethwait, Vice President of Kahoot! at work, about their newly discovered phenomenon named "quiet constraint," and how it is actually the new workplace villain.

You’ve likely heard of Kahoot! for their fun quizzes and yet, these days the platform has become much more. Kahoot! at work can be used for trainings, presentations, meeting and events to boost employee engagement.

Why would they do this? Tune in to learn more.
