Recruiter's Essential Tips

Research Bit from Jobsite. clipped from ukrecruiter.typepad.com This is a great bit of research from Jobsite . What better way to get people to use their site than to assess their happiness and then suggest they look for another job that will make them happier. I suggest headhunters keep this bit of research to hand when trying to entice execs from one company to another! The Jobsite “Happy Days” research examined the impact of being happy at work and the immediate effect of a good and bad work-day on an evening at home. They surveyed 421 workers at 20 commuter train stations across the country and collected saliva samples (I wonder if the saliva samplers are happy in their work!) on both a work day and a leisure day to compare stress and immune levels to determine the changes in behaviour after a day at work. For the full report you'll need to email (the very helpful) Vicky at vicky.taylor@jobsite.co.uk

Positive inter-personal relationship has multiple impacts on job satisfaction. When an employee has good relationship with the manager, co-workers and customers, the performance automatically increases and results in high job satisfaction. Like job satisfaction, inter-personal relationship is also an emotional feeling and cannot be measured. However, an employer can organize programs that encourage teamwork. Arranging for frequent meetings and resolving conflicts immediately strengthen the relationship. Ensure that a positive friendship is shaped between the co-workers so that they enjoy working with each other. Start with building relationship among people with similarities instead of differences. Later the same kind of relationship can be established among people having differences. Effective inter-personal relationship leads to job satisfaction, high performance and success.

Having a good manager is the key motivating factor for an employee. When a manager can motivate employees and increase the productivity, the same person can also demotivate the employees and lead to frustration. Job satisfaction is the personal emotional feeling of the employee. When the employee is not receiving recognition for the performance, this emotional feeling is blown up. Especially when there is lack of communication between the manager and employees, it certainly affects the job satisfaction. A manager may easily affect the employee’s job satisfaction by ignoring the ideas, not recognizing the achievements, or by not having proper relationship. Many employees do not tend to leave the company, but their managers. The top management can consider the managers’ performance by obtaining feedback from the employees reporting to them. This may be a good start to have good managers and in turn to retain employees.
