Recommendation

Satisfied employees are more productive, take fewer sick days and stay in their jobs longer. But what drives satisfaction at work? To find out, the Happiness Research Institute and the trade union Krifa in Denmark teamed up with TNS Gallup to produce the “Job Satisfaction Index 2016.” Although the findings don’t constitute breaking news, the report succeeds at pinpointing the ingredients of the otherwise unexamined and vague feeling of “satisfaction” among employees. getAbstract recommends the report to HR professionals and senior executives, who may be surprised to learn that workplace happiness has little to do with employee perks and six-figure salaries.

Take-Aways

  • Denmark has a job satisfaction rate of 94% – the highest in Europe.
  • “Purpose,” or the ability to answer why a job has value, is the most important ingredient of a happy work life.
  • Employees are happiest when they can achieve “mastery” at their jobs and have the opportunity for personal and professional growth.
