EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION: Many companies and organizations feel that employee compensation is the dominating factor in the employee satisfaction.
Consequently, employers attempt to ensure employee satisfaction with increased pay and benefits. In today’s competitive business environment this approach can only be taken so far. Fortunately, there is a much less expensive way to create greater employee satisfaction. It is virtually cost-free and it increases productivity which significantly improves the profit.William M.
Mercer, Inc. found in surveying 206 medium to large companies in 1998 that in organizations with high turnover, compensation was the most common reason given for dissatisfaction. However, in companies with very low turnover, 40% of the respondents perceived emotional factors such as work satisfaction, good relationships with managers and other employees as completely motivating their retention as compared to 21% attributing financial factors such as satisfaction with compensation and benefits as completely motivating their retention.Note: compensation and benefits satisfy the lowest needs of Maslow’s Hierarchy, while the emotional factors satisfy the three upper needs of the Hierarchy. Creating an environment in the workplace that results in employees feeling better about themselves when they are in it, than when they are not, results in increased responsibility towards their work.
A work environment that constantly raises an employee’s self-esteem, above that she/he experiences anywhere else in their life, will be where she/he most desires to spend his/her time and yields very high employee satisfaction with the job and costs next to nothing. Creating such a work environment is the responsibility of all corporate or organizational leadership, but most critically it is the primary job of the person the employee reports to directly. Increasing job satisfaction for its humanitarian value and for its financial benefit (due to its effect on employee behavior).As early as 1918, Edward Thorndike explored the relationship between work and satisfaction in the Journal of Applied Psychology.Employees with higher job satisfaction:? Believe that the organization will be satisfying in the long run ? Care about the quality of their work? Are more committed to the organization? Have higher retention rates, and? Are more productive? Tend to create happy customers – both internal ; external customers. 1.

Exit interviews are often too late to address employee retention and problems.
