The song starts
The song starts off telling about a letter being received, which contains a job offer. There?s more money, expense account, and a car. . . and what?s more the singer even admits that the offer is for a better job. He turns it down.
Now, think of your employees. If they were offered ?better? jobs, how many would stay and work for you? What elements make up job satisfaction for that better job?
According to a 2004 survey for The Conference Board by TNS, a leading market information company (LSE: TNN):
?The survey also finds that employees are least satisfied with their companies? bonus plans, promotion policies, health plans and pensions. The majority are most satisfied with their commutes to work and their relationships with colleagues.?

Note that what most workers are satisfied with is their commute and their buddies at work. That doesn?t speak well of their opinions about their jobs does it?
According to the same survey, what makes job dissatisfaction?
40% feel disconnected from their jobs
66% of workers do not identify with their employer?s goals and objectives
25% of the workforce is just showing up for work.
Job satisfaction comes in many guises.
