According to research conducted by the University of Warwick and the Wall Street Journal, in conjunction with the Opener Institute for People, a job-satisfied employee is 12% more productive and 31% more efficient.
For what is this? According to the psychologist Edwin Locke (1976), job satisfaction is understood as the pleasant or positive emotional state that results from the evaluation of one’s work or work experiences. The relationship between motivation and satisfaction strengthens the productivity of employees. Since you spend most of your hours working for the company, there is no way that work does not influence your feelings and thoughts. Pursuing their satisfaction within this space will impact both the private and public sphere of the individual.
Offering a good salary is not enough to keep people at a high level of motivation; the implementation of tools that take care of the various dimensions of the spheres that make up the human being is required. For example, a package of benefits and incentives that encourage them to carry out their work with much more positive results.
There are many companies —of all sizes and sectors— that offer flexible packages that adapt to the needs of their workers, thus complementing the base salary with emotional salary-type benefits that keep staff engaged.
The range of possibilities in benefit packages is extremely wide, but the trend is moving towards improving physical and mental health habits by making available to staff from platforms with access to a wide variety of services, applications, to agreements with specialized consultants that provide this type of support. The options are very extensive, what is relevant here is taking care of the well-being of human capital, which will contribute to their motivation.
