We all have come across the term job satisfaction. Job
Satisfaction, although the term seems very simple, many of us still end up
confusing it with job comparison. Being happy with your job is one thing and
comparing your job with someone else’s job is entirely a different thing. There
are times when we are frustrated with some things happening around us and we
start grumbling that there is no job satisfaction here and hence we need to
look out for new ventures. Looking out for new ventures is not wrong, but why
are you looking out for new ventures is important. It shouldn’t be the case
that you are jumping from one organization to another and you are still not
happy. Here are the factors you need to look at to know about job satisfaction.
1)
Relationship with reporting heads: Well,
reporting heads sure are stern sometimes and they have to be because they are the
ones answerable to clients for any glitch. All the same, if they care about
you, if they are fair, guide you well, then you should be happy because you
have one factor ticked marked ‘yes’ in the list of job satisfaction.
2)
Honing your skill-sets: Are you able to hone your
skill-sets in this job? Are you learning something new? If yes, this is the
second factor of job satisfaction, which you can you tick as done.
3)
Does the company care? If your company cares for
its employees, ensures transparent communication, recognizes your efforts, provides
rewards and good incentives, then this is the place for you to be.
4)
Cordial work environment: If you have wonderful
colleagues, supportive team members, this adds to your job satisfaction.
5)
Feedback: If feedback is given in positive light and the
company also has the culture of two-way feedback, this place is your place.
6)
Work-Life balance: Does your company have
options for working from home when you need it? Do they have paid time off? Do you get leaves when needed? If yes, then
you are at the right place.
7)
Policies: If your company ensures fairness
regardless of age, gender, disability etc., this is the perfect place for you.
8)
Job Security: If you don’t feel insecure about
your job, if there is consistent communication, and you are happy with your
role, this is certainly a factor you can tick as yes in your list of factors of
job satisfaction.
9)
Growth: If you are growing in terms of knowledge,
if you are getting recognition for your efforts, if you get promoted based on
your diligence, knowledge, efforts, and your contribution in making the company
grow and of course at the right time intervals, this is your place.
