Quiet Quitting is Costing You Business

Engaged Employees Perform Better

In our research of 500+ professionals, employees with the highest fulfillment scores are more engaged, do their best work, stay on average 3 more years with their company, and 69% report feeling valued for their skills and experience. Yet most leaders don’t measure or know how to improve fulfillment.


Get a Leading Indicator of Team Performance.

Turnover and quiet quitting are lagging indicators. By the time you see them, it’s expensive. Leaders feel stuck and unsure how to spot low performance risks early. People shouldn’t have to choose between doing great work and feeling fulfilled. Work should help them thrive.

We understand how costly surprise attrition and stalled execution can be.

Fulfilled@Work™ Academy, led by Fulfillment Architect Bernie Borges, equips modern leaders with Fulfillment-Centric Leadership™ (FCL)—a practical, research-informed training program that turns fulfillment into a performance strategy, not a perk.

Meet the Fulfillment Architect

Bernie Borges is the founder of the Fulfilled@Work Academy™ and the creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ Framework. With over 30 years of experience in marketing communication, leadership, and entrepreneurship, Bernie partners with HR leaders to cultivate workplace cultures where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to give their best.

His work is rooted in personal experience.

After hitting a plateau in his own career, Bernie realized what was holding him back wasn’t a lack of drive, it was a lack of clarity. He uncovered a misalignment between his values and how he was living and leading. That insight sparked a transformation, not just in his own fulfillment, but in how he showed up as a leader. It became the foundation for what is now Fulfillment Centric Leadership™.

HR leaders turn to Bernie for a human-first, evidence-based approach to engagement that doesn’t just move the needle on performance metrics, but also reduces turnover by strengthening culture and transforming how people feel about their work, their team, and their purpose.
