According to this Society for Human Resource Management (SRHM) report titled, Employee Job Satisfaction and Engagement, employee satisfaction is at it’s highest in 10 years. In addition, their measure of engagement shows the workforce is moderately engaged. I guess the mission of this blog/podcast is complete. Sure the number can always be improved. However, I would say I can shut this down…
Maybe not yet. I’ve started reading the 68 page report to figure out how and what they’re measuring. And I would love to hear from someone at SHRM and Gallup to compare their seemingly disparate outcomes on employee engagement. I’m sure there’s more to come. Please take a look at the reports and let’s work through this together.
One thing that stood out to me: “Compensation has increased in importance. Sixty-three percent of respondents cited it as a contributor to satisfaction, the highest level since 2006.”
Here’s the Huffington post article, “Apparently No One Hates Their Job Anymore” that inspired this post.
