But <a href=\"https:\/\/nailted.com\/use-cases\/keep-employee-satisfaction-high\">employee satisfaction<\/a> is about more than creating a healthy work environment; it\u2019s also about building a high-performing, successful business.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s why job dissatisfaction can be so dangerous to a company:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It spreads. <\/strong>One disgruntled employee may not seem like much of a threat to overall company performance. But the truth is, an unhappy team member can spread a sense of malcontent throughout the team. Maybe they complain frequently or work poorly with others. In any case, <strong>job dissatisfaction tends to have a \u201cdomino effect\u201d<\/strong> that can affect your whole team. Happy employees tend to work more collaboratively with others \u2013 producing a positive impact that affects the whole team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It results in turnover. <\/strong>If your employees are unhappy, they\u2019re far more likely to look elsewhere for employment. Job dissatisfaction significantly affects<a href=\"https:\/\/nailted.com\/blog\/3-simple-talent-retention-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\"> retention<\/a>, which ultimately damages your ability to grow, learn, and evolves as a business. Not only that but <strong>finding a replacement poses a significant cost<\/strong>. According to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management, &#8220;employers will need to spend the equivalent of six to nine months of an employee\u2019s salary to find and train their replacement.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>It affects work quality. <\/strong>Happy, fulfilled employees invest more time, energy, and effort into their work. An employee who feels resentful or annoyed with a company is far more likely to do the bare minimum at work \u2013 decreasing productive output <em>and<\/em> quality. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/hrdailyadvisor.blr.com\/2017\/06\/16\/employee-satisfaction-affects-organizational-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\">economists at the University of Warwick<\/a> found that high levels of satisfaction at work made employees around 12% more productive, while <strong>those who suffered job dissatisfaction were shown to be 10% less productive<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:image --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/7y4T97K5QPgH6gS3Me5DKSqcxT0WWvvsoyYpVGbMyg2S74LE8d-Dg3YTupjBc9mdyrThdjgNtOLZoQtxMvrXa3wbMU6k3e8s1SXdt3qW8WW1nfLs6O4-Ard5Y-jgj6ArPbeBJcCc\" alt=\"HR and People and Culture professionals evaluating Job dissatisfaction in the company\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Clearly, job dissatisfaction is dangerous for a multitude of reasons, all of which ultimately impact your business\u2019s bottom line and ability to succeed.<\/p>\n<h2>Causes of Job Dissatisfaction<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employees\u2019 reasons for job dissatisfaction may be numerous, and some may be personal. However, there are a few main causes for job dissatisfaction that you could tackle beforehand. Even if your employees aren\u2019t dissatisfied, making sure these areas are covered is a good way to prevent dissatisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lack of interest:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When an employee isn\u2019t interested in the work they\u2019re doing, job dissatisfaction is bound to happen. The reasons could be that they just do not like the area of work, or it could be a problem with employee engagement. In any case, it\u2019s good to have a talk with them and see how you can assist.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Poor work-life balance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe your employee is working too many hours, or maybe their hours don\u2019t fit with their personal life. Anyhow, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">poor work-life balance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can cause great dissatisfaction. If possible, flexible hours are a good way to avoid this issue. If not, the manager and the employee can sit down and discuss an agreement that works for both parties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lack of communication:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Poor communication \u2013 especially between managers and reports\u2013 can result in frustration and stunted workflows. Asking for feedback is a strategic first step in improving communication, but you\u2019ll also want to make an intentional effort to continue keeping an open channel of communication.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unfair pay: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This complaint has a clear, obvious solution \u2013 increase pay. That being said, your company may not be in a financial position to offer raises. If you can\u2019t increase compensation, then make sure your employees feel appreciated, offer perks and flexibility when you can.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Micromanagement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If micromanagement is a common complaint among dissatisfied employees, then you\u2019ll want to take an honest look at why employees feel micromanaged. Do they need specific guidance because they\u2019re struggling with their workload? Or is there a lack of trust and autonomy in the company? When you identify the root of this complaint, you can take steps to create a team that feels more independent and autonomous.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No opportunities to grow:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most team members want to grow personally and professionally. If your company doesn\u2019t offer an upwards trajectory of development, employees may feel bored or frustrated. While you may not be able to hand out promotions left and right, make an effort to build opportunities for team members to innovate and learn.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, feedback may vary dramatically. Perhaps an employee is having a personal problem with a team member, and that\u2019s affecting their performance. In that case, you may need to step in to mediate the issue. Whatever it is, don\u2019t let the problem go overlooked \u2013 that will only aggravate the issue and increase job dissatisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>How to know if your employees are dissatisfied\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, you may not know that your employees are unhappy at work.
