What Really Drives Employee Satisfaction? Seeking a Clear Definition and Key Factors

Hi guys,

I would like to know what variables exactly contribute to employee satisfaction and the precise definition of employee satisfaction.

Thank you,
Uma

Dear Uma,

The following are the variables which contribute to Employee satisfaction:

1. Overall Individual satisfaction: Employees should be satisfied with the organization as a great place to work.

2. Work Environment: Employees have to feel satisfied with the environment within which they work for it would result in high productivity.

3. Communication Methods: When administrative policies and all important announcements are communicated to the employees, it boosts their morale. The methods chosen for communication also play an integral role. Some of the methods that could be used are intranet, monthly newsletters, weekly meetings, etc.

4. Compensation and benefits: This is the most important variable for employee satisfaction. Employees should be provided with competitive salary packages, and they should be satisfied with it when comparing their pay packets with those of the outsiders who are working in the same industry.

Hope this data was sufficient. I shall refer to some books and retrieve the definition of Employee satisfaction.

Alex Mathew

Hi,

I'm just doing it in my organization for the third time. I hope it will help you, and if not, solve the problem.

The three consulting companies that have done a lot of work in surveying/researching employee satisfaction/engagement are Gallup, BlessingWhite, and Towers Perrin. You can look them up on Google for their publicly accessible reports.

The main motivating factors are also summarized on our webpage at http://www.businessperform.com/html/...vironment.html.

The study of "Employee satisfaction" helps the company to maintain standards and increase productivity by motivating the employees. This study tells us how much the employees are capable and their interest at work place, and what are the things still to be satisfied to the employees. Although "human resources" are the most important resources for any organization, studying employee satisfaction helps to understand the working conditions and what affects them from working properly. While the majority of work is done by machines/equipment, without any manual input, nothing can be achieved. Therefore, studying employee satisfaction is necessary.

Hello members,

In my organization, I need to design a policy for employee satisfaction evaluation. I have prepared the questions, but I also need to create the policy. Could somebody assist me in developing such a policy?
