When your employees feel satisfied, they will be less likely to leave. Keeping your staff productive and satisfied can limit costly turnover and increase your business' overall productivity. Finding good people and paying them well isn't enough to ensure top production. The answer lies in getting your staff to love what they do and make them realize how important they are.
Job dissatisfaction is caused by several factors.
According to the book Making People Productive, some of the top universal job dissatisfiers include being in the wrong job, unclear responsibilities, poor communication, red tape and boredom. Believe it or not, managers and supervisors have much more control over their employees' satisfaction and productivity than they may realize. Clarify responsibilities and set goals. Give employees copies of their job descriptions and explain each area. At the same time, remind staff members that coworkers are part of the team.
