Employees may stay longer, not necessarily because they want to but because they have to. These workers show up regularly but don't bring their discretionary effort to work with them.
Satisfied employees have a direct impact on customer satisfaction. The more committed your employees are, the more committed your customers can be.
Most employees are willing to assume responsibility for their own satisfaction but just don't know how.
Engagement will happen when workers recognize what's getting in the way of their workplace satisfaction and choose to take action effectively.
Even satisfied workers could learn new ways to make their workplace better.
Engagement - Healthcare
Annual turnover in healthcare is more than 25 percent.
Today’s health care systems face the incredible challenge of being profitable through efficient operations. Costs are a concern as you usually receive a fixed amount of revenue per patient.
Each year the demand for highly skilled personnel increases due to advances in medical technology. National healthcare expenditures are expected to double over the next decade as the population ages.
The annual number of people reaching 55 years old will increase to over 4 million by 2010, compared to 2.7 million reaching 55 each year currently. Those 75 and over are the fastest growing segment, and are expected to increase 33 percent over the next 10 years. All of these factors present a staffing opportunity as well as a problem. According to the American Hospital Association (AHA), the current shortage of 125,000 nurses could grow to 400,000 by 2010.

All organizations want their talented people to be satisfied and engaged at work. And, for the most part, people do want to stay, at least awhile, and build equity in their workplaces. Even satisfied workers could find at least one way to move the needle to make work better. This experience will help employees identify what's missing, learn how they can take the initiative, and get more satisfaction right where they are.
