Do you want a happy staff? If you pony up some extra funds, you may be able to make them more satisfied in their roles, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will enjoy coming to the workplace every day. In this article, we will talk about what keeps employees in good spirits at the office.
In a recent conversation with Forbes, Heidi Golledge, CEO at the job site CareerBliss.com, said human resources management professionals must work on ways to ensure that workers don't wear down. A study produced by her company revealed that there are many factors that make staff members satisfied while on the job, which include:
Relationships with bosses and co-workersTheir work environmentThe resources they have at workTheir level of compensationThe opportunities for growthThe company cultureThe reputation of the businessWhat they do on a daily basisTheir level of control over their work
The research showed that as salary increases, happiness levels grow slightly. However, managers and executives care deeply about their daily tasks and their company's reputation. As you can see, compensation is important, but good pay isn't the end-all, be-all when it comes to their happiness.
"Employees used to be happy just to be paid consistently and hopefully paid well," Golledge said. "Now, overall job and life satisfaction, sense of well-being and the work that they do are intricately tied together."
The satisfaction that comes from having a competitive salary can only go so far, as the CareerBliss survey demonstrated. Keeping this in mind, you need to ensure that your business has a number of strategies that can contribute to staff member retention. Below are some tips from a blog post for Globoforce that you can use to ensure your workforce remains happy:
