We surveyed 2,000 employees in a variety of sectors to do this. Key findings from the survey revealed: 24% of workers are planning on changing jobs in the next two years Over a third (36%) feel their pay is too low for the work they do Workplace friendships are the most satisfying element of working for their current company (45%), with flexibility of working hours (40%) and salary (33%) closely following Two thirds (65%) stated their company does not offer rewards for good performance This eBook looks primarily at the ingredients of employee satisfaction: the measures to which managers should aspire to keep their workforce satisfied, also addressing the more aspirational theme of engagement.

By downloading this eBook, you will understand: What employee satisfaction mean As well as in their day-to-day tasks, staff satisfaction is closely linked to how an employee feels about a company’s style of management and organisational culture – the traits that define the business such as internal communication, staff development policies, and recognition of employee performance. Key considerations in raising employee satisfaction For satisfaction at work, employees need a direction and a sense of purpose that keeps them going. Therefore, leaders must be clear about their strategy and goals to help employees feel connected, valued and fulfilled.  Best practice in designing a satisfaction survey A well-designed, well-timed employee satisfaction survey can reap rewards for your business in the long term, maintaining a workforce that can be trusted to deliver. Surveys shouldn’t just be saved for times of hardship. How to use survey data to implement change One way to generate high employee satisfaction is to focus directly on those areas that matter most to employees – and regularly review them to ensure they remain relevant. The future of employee satisfaction To be an ‘employer of choice’ in the future, employers cannot merely offer competitive rewards, development opportunities, and healthy company culture. They’ll need to provide a consistently positive employee experience as well.
