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.

Quiet quitting, avoidable attrition, and missed targets often hit before most leaders see the warning signs.

Fulfilled@Work Academy equips leaders to measure and improve employee engagement. Through the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ Framework delivered via training, coaching, and masterminds, leaders learn to lead with head and heart using customizable routines that surface risks early and strengthen engagement.

The result is a culture people choose to stay in and a business that performs better because employees do their best work.

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 leadership, and entrepreneurship, Bernie partners with C-Suite and 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 with head and heart. It became the foundation for what is now Fulfillment Centric Leadership™.

Business 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.

As host of the Life Fulfilled podcast and co-author of the Thriving in Midlife report, Bernie brings a powerful blend of data, empathy, and lived experience to help organizations align purpose with performance, because fulfilled employees are your strongest competitive edge.
