What Tampers Employee Satisfaction?

HR Solutions complied a Employee satisfaction survey wherein 2.2 Million respondents were surveyed covering 2,100 organizations worldwide and the top 10 results are as under:-

• Higher salaries – pay is the number one area in which employees seek change.
• Internal pay equity, particularly having concerns with “pay compression” (the differential in pay between new and more tenured employees).
• Benefits programs, particularly health/dental, retirement, and Paid Time Off/vacation days. Specifically, many employees feel that their health insurance costs too much, especially prescription drug programs.
• “Over-management” (A common phrase seen in employee comments is “Too many chiefs, not enough Indians”).
• Pay increase guidelines should place greater emphasis on merit.
• The Human Resource department needs to be more responsive to their questions and/or concerns.
• Favoritism.
• Improved communication and availability (both from their supervisors and upper management).
• Workloads are too heavy and/or departments are understaffed.
• Facility cleanliness.

I personally think that the top 3 always have to avoided in any Employee satisfaction survey as its always obvious to be related with Salary and benefits ....... as nobody is a Saint :)
