Increasing Job Satisfaction in 2023 Clarify your core values to create happier workers
We will explore a framework which provides a powerful model to understand ways we can assess personal satisfaction and create change at an individual and organisational level.
What is job satisfaction? “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” said Confucius. Another definition is “…any combination of psychological, physiological, and environmental circumstances that cause a person to truthfully say that they are satisfied with a job.” It sounds simple, but proves to be complicated. Why do people leave a job? or do they leave the organisation, or a boss? We shall explore your job satisfiers and those of your team/ employees. Values play a key role. We shall identify the sorts of conversations to have with others to clarify whether they fit (or not), what matters to them and how to achieve a match. This discussion could save you and your organisation much heartache and money.
