Remember the Rolling Stones song, “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction?” Have you ever been dissatisfied with your job? In January, a 2010 Conference Board Study showed that only 45% of American workers are satisfied with their jobs – the lowest level since the group began studying the issue in the late 80s.
If the job satisfaction trend is not reversed, economists say it could stifle innovation, hurt America’s competitiveness and productivity, and it could make unhappy older workers less inclined to take the time to share their knowledge and skills with younger workers.
So who’s at fault for the decline of American productivity and creativity? Is it the employer for not making work and jobs more interesting and rewarding, or is it the employees’ fault for the same reasons? Could there be another way to maximize employee productivity and job satisfaction?
I’ve got a solution. Find out what motivates your employees and use the information to coach, inspire and keep good talent.
