C-SUITE PERSPECTIVES

Job Satisfaction Is Up, But So Are the Risks for Employers

13 MAY 2024

Job satisfaction is at an all-time high, but clouds are on the horizon. Find out what risks companies should be addressing.

For the 13th straight year, U.S. workers reported higher overall job satisfaction, according to The Conference Board Job Satisfaction Survey, but paradoxically, all 26 subcomponents of the survey declined from a year ago. What’s causing this disconnect, and what are the risks for employers when it comes to job satisfaction and employee retention? 

 

Join Steve Odland and guest Allan Schweyer, Principal Researcher at the Human Capital Center of The Conference Board, to find out why job flexibility, leadership quality, and focused onboarding are three essential elements of job satisfaction.
