Six pillars of satisfaction of employees at work

Having satisfied, productive and loyal employees is the dream of every HR specialist. As time changes, so do the priorities of employees, which is why it is good to remind ourselves of the current main pillars of employee satisfaction as viewed by workers themselves.

Recognition of employees

Never underestimate the importance of employee recognition for their good work. According to Training Zone, the success of the whole company is all well and good, but people also need individual recognition expressed aloud as this motivates them to do their best work.

Benefits

These do not have to be only financial. Such things as "sick days" or the possibility of using company products for free are benefits which are welcomed by employees.

Miscellaneous work

Workers want their job to be interesting and miscellaneous. This might be realised, for instance, by giving individual people projects beyond their basic agenda.

Work life and family life balance

If work denies employees the opportunity to spend quality time with their family, you must offer either extremely high salaries or other benefits so that employees will not have a tendency to leave you.

Career advancement option

You must never lead an employee to believe they will remain forever in their given position. Offer a transparent programme for career advancement.

Authority

For the well-being, self-confidence and motivation of employees, they must feel they have a certain authority and ability to make decisions on their own.
