Job satisfaction equals higher engagement.

Sounds like a bit of a no-brainer, doesn’t it?

It won’t surprise you then, that there’s a distinct correlation between job fit and job satisfaction. By extrapolation, that means there’s a correlation between job fit and workplace engagement.

But why should you care?

Well, workplaces with a highly engaged workforce are 21% more productive and 22% more profitable, than their “average” counterparts.  Seems like a pretty compelling reason to improve engagement rates, wouldn’t you say?

And given that 71% of employees in Australian organisations are “not engaged” in the work they do, think of the opportunity for improvement, if you could just lift job satisfaction. That’s 3 out of every 4 people NOT satisfied (read miserable) in their job!!!

But how do you create job satisfaction?

You do it by designing a talent strategy that sees people in roles that meet their inherent drivers – right people in the right roles, every single time.

For example, there’s no point giving a process, detail-driven opportunity to someone who’s a big picture thinker. And there’s no point assigning an opportunity that requires a methodical, routine approach to someone who thrives on variety and change. It’s a recipe for disaster!

Not everyone is wired the same way and the best way to lift job satisfaction is to understand the wiring and align it with tasks that satisfy the underlying need.

Sounds complicated? Sounds time-consuming?
