Employee Satisfaction Equals Profitability

In an era (to put it mildly) that is economically uncertain, there is a way to bolster both productivity and profitability:

Employee satisfaction.

Employees who are happy in their work are always more productive. Yet businesses seem to shy away from nurturing their satisfaction or - worse - business owners have no idea if their employees are happy or not.

An employee satisfaction assessment (or 360 degree survey) is an easy tool to determine how satisfied your employees are. And, worked with an expert, you can use that information to take steps to enhance that satisfaction.

The downside of low employee satisfaction is higher turnover, lower productivity and ultimately business failure.

The upside is significantly higher.

Businesses with great workplace environments, such as those mentioned in this Wall Street Journal article, will improve the components so essential to success.
