Employee Satisfaction Rises; What It Signals For HR Leaders

In the recent Glassdoor Quarterly Employment Confidence Survey, job satisfaction was ironically up while pessimism about the employment market was also increasing. After three years of the job market ‘music’ being stopped and talent holding onto the chair they have, along with compensation cuts not fully restored and fears of more cost-cutting company, job satisfaction being up is quizzical.
How do we explain this rise and what does it mean to today’s HR Leaders?
Some of the reasons job satisfaction may be on the rise include:
Employees Report Growing Concern Over Job Security, Pay Raises And Job Market Amid Rising Job Satisfaction
Posted by Glassdoor Team • July 6th, 2011 • 105 Comments
Not sure where the economy is headed and how your career path will look in the next 6 to 12 months? You’re not alone.
It’s no secret that the job market has remained tight over the past several months, and so it shouldn’t be too surprising to hear that employees are more pessimistic about their ability to get rehired within this the next six months should they lose their job. In addition, employee concerns about layoffs and pessimism about pay raises have risen to the highest levels since the height of the recession.
Today, Glassdoor released the latest Employment Confidence Survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, and found layoff concerns were up five percentage points this quarter…
One In Four Expect To Leave Job In Next 2 Years, Survey Shows
Posted by Glassdoor Team • March 29th, 2011 • 80 Comments
The economy has been a rough ride for just about everyone and so it may not be too surprising to hear that many are planning to head for ‘greener’ pastures in less than two years.
We just released the results of our latest Employment Confidence Survey and found 73 percent of employees expect to leave their job for a new employer in the future, 38 percent expect to leave their job in less than three years, 28 percent expect to do so in less than two years and 14 percent expect to do so in less than one year.
This may be driven by rising optimism around the job market. Among full-time, part-time and/or self-employed adults, 40 percent say they believe it is “likely” they could find a new job matched to their experience and compensation levels within six months if they lost their current job – the highest level in six quarters.
That optimism doesn’t necessarily carry through employee confidence in what’s happening within companies. While employee confidence in the job market rose in the first quarter, confidence in future job security, pay raises and company outlook remained relatively flat. And while reports of layoffs are down, 40 percent of employees say their employers made changes to the number of staff, organizational structure, compensation and benefits, or other perks in the past six months. In fact, rates of pay cuts, hiring freezes and job restructurings rose in Q1 from recent quarters.
