Stop Assuming What Employees Want and Start Asking

Stop assuming what employees want and start asking
One of the major problems circulating around the recruitment process of most organisations around the globe is the ability to recruit quality people, get the best out of them and keep them interested for the long haul.
Things arent the way they used to be.
These days you have very few employees who stay at their organisation for longer periods of time, mainly due to job dissatisfaction. Everything is changing constantly and rapidly except one thing – what people want. Something that hasnt changed in 50 years!
If employers tune in and really take the time to understand what employees really want from their organisation, and meet this need, their chances of hiring and keeping the best will greatly improve. This in turn will assist in reducing their recruitment and training cost.
“Human Capital is the most powerful capital for any organisation”
These days too many employers assume that they know what employees want from their jobs rather than ask them.
Below is a list of what employees say they want, starting with whats most important to them:
1. Full appreciation for work done
2. Feeling “in” on things
3. Sympathetic help on personal problems
4. Job security
5. Good wages
6. Interesting work
7. Promotion/growth opportunities
8. Personal loyalty to workers
9. Good working conditions
10. Tactful discipline
Now take a look at what managers THINK employees want, starting with what they think is most important:
1. Good wages
2. Job security
3. Promotion/growth opportunities
4. Good working conditions
