The Society for HR Management recently released their annual Employee Job Satisfaction and Engagement report for 2015. In that report they reveal the top factors that contribute to employee job satisfaction. The top 2 contributors had to do with relationships at work:
- Respectful treatment of all employees at all levels
- Trust between employees and senior management
Following this theme around relationships with people…
Relationship with immediate supervisor ranked #6, Immediate supervisors respect for my ideas ranked #7, Communication between employees and senior management ranked #8, and Relationships with co-workers ranked #15.
The work itself ranked #11, Meaningfulness of the job ranked #14, and Variety of work ranked #21.
Relationships at work rule!! More than anything else at your job – because how you feel about the people you work with/for has more to do with your ability to feel happy and fulfilled at your job than any tasks you are accountable to perform.
