Description

This course teaches how a person can take control of their job satisfaction - how to understand what drives it, and how to improve it.

A typical worker can spend from 70,000 to 100,000 hours at work during their lifetime. Major polling companies such as Aon and Gallup typically report that the majority of workers are either "just there" at work, or actively disengaged.

Good companies recognize that high employee engagement and satisfaction results in greater worker productivity, better employee retention, and reduced time off work. These companies make efforts to increase employee satisfaction by identifying issues through surveys, and addressing them through Employee Satisfaction (ESAT) programs. Such programs are designed to address broader issues, however, not the ones specific to an individual. And only a small minority of organizations approach improving employee satisfaction seriously.

The Four Corner Framework identifies the job attributes important to the individual - what aspects of their job that they value now and into the future. It then provides a process to drive the necessary changes needed for improving the problem areas for overall job satisfaction improvement.

This course is not only useful for individuals, but also very for professionals in Human Resources (HRP) and Human Resource Management interested in improving employee satisfaction.

Who this course is for:

Individuals looking to improve their happiness and engagement at work
