Job Satisfaction Important Factors
6/17/2011
I selected my top five to reflect what I believe are important aspects within the workplace. I selected Job security as my number one most important aspect. My second is career advancement, then pay/compensation. Fourth is Benefits and lastly balance between home life and work. These to me are the most important aspects of a job or career that could be offered within any given position with a company. I was appalled when I saw the first set of graphs conducted on the 600 employees, and that the balance between life and work was so low on the list. Honestly, now that I have a child at home, I chose that as one of my top 5, but if you would have asked me two years ago I probably wouldn't have put that as an important aspect. I obviously chose job security because no matter what, I want to know that I am important to the company and that they need me to be there in order for everything to run smoothly, which in turn will almost guarantee that I will always have an available position within that company. The second most important job aspect to me is the availibility for career advancement. I am the type of person that always wants to better herself and to climb right up that corporate ladder. I don't ever want to settle with a position when I know that there is one higher and within my reach and ability if I were to try hard enough, and to complete the tasks necessary to gain that position. So if a company does not have the opportunity for advancement, then it is not the right place for me, and I probably wouldn't even consider working there. Pay is obviously important because it is what I make after working hard all day long for the company. It is also what helps to support my family. As we've all heard "money makes the world go 'round". I want to be rewarded for my accomplishments and to know that I am important by the amount of money I make. The way I see
