Employee satisfaction is a necessity for a successful, hard-working team. It is important to make sure employee satisfaction is present in your organization. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. But first, it is wise to look inward—a sort of self-assessment of the engagement in your workforce.
Ask yourself these questions to evaluate the current state of employee satisfaction in your organization.
- Do people believe that you want to hear their ideas and will value them?
- Do your employees understand how their daily work helps accomplish the organization’s goals?
- Do others follow your requests and commands because they want to or because they have to?
- Do others communicate their ideas and visions for the organization when you are present?
- Do you frequently acknowledge and recognize each employee for their contributions?
- Do people believe that you are committed to helping them develop and grow?
- Do people feel a strong sense of community in your organization?
- Do you regularly offer career path guidance to your team?
- Would your employees agree that they never receive any surprises during formal performance reviews?
- Do you help your employees understand how they can better serve the organization?
- Do your employees have the opportunity to do what they do best every day?
- Do your employees’ opinions seem to count?
- Has an employee received recognition and praise for good work in the last 7 days?
- Do you regularly talk to your team about their progress?
- Do you help build confidence in your employees by communicating how their work matters overall?
Employee satisfaction is a non-negotiable factor for team development and success. Better employee satisfaction leads to better employee performance, so be sure it is prevalent in your organization.
