Employee satisfaction is effective on productivity,
resource management and profitability at the long run. It is no news that happy
staff means a progressive business. Most times, employers refuse to pay
attention to the needs and concerns of the staff and this is why most problems
remain unsolvable and evident progress can hardly be achieved. Here are few
ways to ensure employees are treated rightly enough for their tasks.
CLARITY IN TASK: employers need to give adequate job
description and ensure that there is clarity in task assigned. It is mostly
ineffective to assume an employee should know what to do. Being communicative
is a good way to ensure productivity is achieved.
AVOID MONOTONY: having to do the same thing every
day in the same way can lead to brain drain. Jobs should be structured in a way
that activities won’t be repetitive and brain drain would be prevented. There
could be flexibility in work as such options like work from home, work on the
field could be adopted.
FLEXIBILITY: this is another good way to keep
workers encouraged and bright. Ideas as simple as opportunity for casual dress
code can do so much in improving workers
attitude to work, opportunities to hold meetings outside the office is another
way to keep work flexible.
TRANSPARENCY: this is another easy way to keep
workers happy and make them feel like they belong. Sharing the vision and
mission of the organisation and giving them a sense of belonging makes the work
process easier and happier for them.
Work doesn’t always have to feel like work. One can
derive happiness even in the work one does apart from the pay that comes from
it.
