Employee Survey Results Data
Focus Areas
J ob Satisfaction
A low Score in job satisfaction, whether the company makes good use of employees' skills and abilities and appreciation from a supervisor, characterized by a declining trend, suggests the need for targeted intervention to boost employees' morale and engagement, such as placing employees in areas that fully exploit their abilities.
Recognition and Praise
Scores in job recognition and praise are not only low but have also exhibited a declining trend over the past four years. This trend suggests that employees do not feel adequately appreciated or acknowledged for their contribution. Interventions geared at recognizing and motivating employees are therefore required to drive productivity and overall satisfaction.
Company and Strategy:
Survey results indicate a significant drop in employee’s perception of whether the company cares for them, suggesting a disconnect between the organization's overall strategic goals and workforce experiences
Reality—Current State
Job Satisfaction:
The declining job satisfaction, as reported by employees, can amplify attrition, low productivity, and overall employee morale. Based on the survey outcome, it is evident that the company underutilizes employees' skills who also repro limited support from their supervisor
Recognition and Praise
Employee have reported being less recognized and appreciated, which weakens their motivation to innovate and be productive. This could be due to the company's inability to effectively communicate recognition, leading to the organization's workforce feeling undervalued and appreciated.
Company and Strategy:
The current perception of employees that the company cares less about them is likely to impact their commitment and loyalty. This trend is likely attributed to gaps in the company's policies and poor communication.
Desired Future State—Where Would You Like to Be?
Job Satisfaction
Focus on increasing the percentage of employees who are satisfied with their jobs from 35% to around 55%. Doing so will lead to improved retention, morale, and enhanced productivity.
Recognition and Praise
Considering that the percentage of employees who feel recognized averages below 50%, it is crucial to increase this percentage to an average of 60%. Enhance recognition will lead to desirable outcomes such as employee motivation and a sense of belonging, which is crucial for enhancing loyalty.
Company and Strategy:
The percentage of employees who feel valued by the company should be increased to 70%. This could lead to higher loyalty and a desirable organizational culture.
