Read an article and match each statement (1-8) with one letter (A, B, C or D). You can use the letters more than once.
A. Many people say they are unhappy at work, which seems to me rather sad. When we survey company staff, we often find that they feel they are not paid enough, or they are doing a job unrelated to their skills. It seems that a lack of confidence is holding them back from leaving. Low morale can have a devastating effect on companies and yet, they do not do anything about it. In fact, companies often seem unaware of the problem. They express surprise when we tell them and suggest they challenge staff, giving them opportunities to develop their skills, which are what most people want.
B. Not long ago, most employees said that job security was the most important thing for job satisfaction. As a result they were reluctant to leave a job, even if they were unhappy.However, that has been replaced as number one on the list by the need to use their skills and ability to the full. To overcome this, we find that asking staff to teach others the skills they have, improves both coworker relationships and the skills base of individuals and companies alike. Furthermore, employees feel more valued.
C. Many company leaders have told me that their staff are unresponsive and unmotivated despite being offered financial incentives. This indicates that these managers do not understand their workforce at all. People are not solely motivated by money. They need money to live, but they also want to feel they have a meaningful job that challenges them and uses their skills. Boredom is a key demotivator and every job will have some boring elements so it is even more important that employees understand the value of their job
within the whole.
D. We realised that our staff were becoming dissatisfied because we had been unable to increase their salaries during the recession. So we looked at other ways of compensating them for the work they do, and decided that a total rewards strategy would be the best way to go. This included things such as benefits, work-life balance, performance and recognition, personal development and career opportunities. For example, staff who had exceeded their targets were rewarded with extra days off. Performance and company moulte an unll as inh cotinfection immund substantialhe
