Employee satisfaction is at its lowest level in 22 years, according to a recent survey by the Conference Board. We are at a time when a little more than half of the full-time employees polled say they enjoy their work. This suggest a very high number of people who for one reason or another don't enjoy their job. While this is almost a none issue for those currntly un-employed and would be happy to have any job, it still presents a hugh problem going forward for employers and employees. The saying of leave home at home and work at work just doesn't completely play out in the real world. While a majority of the people gainfully employed understand the need to display professional behavior in the workplace, if they want to keep their job, that is not enough to cope with total dis-satisfaction in what you get up to do 5-6 days a week. You are only human and over time it tends to have some pretty serious consequences in your health, personal life and overall well being.
While there is convincing evidence that happiness at work has a measurable impact both on overall satisfaction with life and work perfomace. The truth is that every job is not going to excite you to successful behavior on the job and prvide total job satisfaction. If you are able to achieve happiness in your job it usually goes without saying you will also have a positive impact in your performace and life overall. Resulting in extra energy and productivity that should ultimately lead to further happiness due to positive recoginition,advancement and promotions.
