Finding Career Satisfaction

Finding Career Satisfaction We hear this constantly, HR Managers trying to work out how to keep their team members satisfied so they stay motivated, and employees trying to find motivation with what they are offered because they are no longer satisfied. Research on career satisfaction has throughout time been a very challenging debate. How do organisations keep individuals satisfied when their needs change so quickly? When what we have to offer as a business can’t change as quickly? When the demands of modern-day life can no longer be addressed through the traditional employee reward and recognition programs. The reality is, being satisfied in a role is not something that can be achieved if you stay stagnant in your career. What you need to be satisfied changes as your experience grows, your personal needs and priorities shift, and as the demands and expectations from the world of work shifts. Around the 1950’s Herzberg penned a theory that has still been researched as being valid through to today. What is known as the dual-factor theory identifies two aspects of satisfaction, which is unique as many people believe that satisfaction is only achieved on a single level. Specifically, the research showed and continues to show that to remain satisfied, we need to consider the aspect of what we need from a hygiene perspective as well as what we need as a motivational factor? What are the hygiene factors? The hygiene factors are things that can be offered and achieved in a workplace that meet the fundamental needs of an employee. These can include salary, working conditions and benefits, job security and status. What happens when we do not meet the hygiene factors? What continues to be recognised is that not getting these hygiene factors does not always mean we will be more satisfied or more motivated. But, if we don’t get them, we can become extremely dissatisfied in our careers. Confusing I know, but by now explaining the motivating factors. What are the motivating factors? The motivating factors provide positive engagement and satisfaction. These include things such as being challenged in our work, receiving recognition, being provided responsibility including contributing to what can make decisions and the future of the business and feeling like we have an opportunity to grow, develop and feel a sense of importance in our roles, organisation and career. What happens when we do not receive the motivating factors? Motivating factors increase the level of motivation of employees and as a result the overall performance of the work environment. This means that if an employee is achieving their motivating factors, they will be motivated and in turn can contribute to the development of a positive work culture. What do the combinations of the theories result in? According to Herzberg, there are four possible combinations: High Hygiene + High Motivation: This is the best situation. You will have motivated employees with few complaints and a positive work culture. High Hygiene + Low Motivation: You will not hear too many complaints however you will not see much motivation in the work environment. This is a job for the sake of a job, not an opportunity to contribute to a positive work environment. Low Hygiene + High Motivation: Wow, how motivated are your team members but why are they still complaining! You might have really exciting work but if they don’t feel rewarded and remunerated for what they are doing they will talk about it. Low Hygiene + Low Motivation: This is a really bad situation. You will not have a motivated work culture and you will hear a lot of complaints and issues from your team. The needs of all of us will be different across our career, but by understanding that there are 2 areas that we need to focus on to be satisfied and motivated in our careers, then we have a greater chance of being able to understand the issues we may be facing and what we need to overcome it.

A Dogs Purpose By Bruce Cameron, A Deep Book Review - Algrim.co

A Dog’s Purpose By Bruce Cameron, A Deep Book Review - Algrim.co A Dog’s Purpose is a novel written by W. Bruce Cameron and is told from the dog’s point of view. The premise is a unique twist on the usual dog tale. In this one, as the dog searches for his reason for existence, he is reborn again and again as different dogs into the lives of different owners, in a reincarnation kind of cycle. There are so many dog books on the market, it’s hard to find one as unique as this one, and it’s refreshing to know you’re going to read a book with a new premise. One of his lives is spent as a stray mixed breed, and another is lived as an energetic puppy, a service dog, etc. The book runs along at an even pace that makes it feel more like you’re watching a movie. The story never gets boring, but it does seem a little sappy at times. You keep wondering how this dog will come back in its next life, and you look forward to reading about the next owner. Each life he lives allows him to learn how to be a good dog, how to interact with humans, and how to take those lessons into his/her next life. Yes, he is a female dog named Ellie in one life. His other names are Toby, Buddy, and Bailey. He’s an intelligent dog that is easily trained, and super sensitive. Without giving too much away, it’s safe to say he’s more humane than at least one of his owners. If you aren’t fond of dog books, this one might change your mind. It’s full of heart, spirit, and thoughtful situations that speak of the dog/human bond. This author has written a sequel, and is just as popular. This dog lives through animal cruelty but comes out a survivor and triumphs on the other side. He doesn’t deserve the maltreatment, but then again, no dog does. Your heartstrings are pulled at just the right moments, if you have a heart at all. His quest for the meaning to his life mirrors the questions we all have from time to time: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? But this dog doesn’t receive the answers easily, and when he does, he doesn’t wax too philosophical about it, which would be disappointing if he did. His epiphany comes simply and beautifully. This book actually answers these questions quite well and prompts us to explore them about our own lives. By the end of the story, you’ll either have a better grasp of your own journey or have more questions to ask. This book was turned into a movie and is well-loved by dog enthusiasts everywhere. I think both book and movie has a way of making the dog seem more human than most humansâ€"a lesson presented over and over in the scenarios. But where some dog books try to make the dog out to be smarter than their owners, or are always engaged in a mental one-upmanship, this dog seems to always know his place. It does make you imagine what your dog is thinking, how much he understands, and what happens to his “spirit” if anything after he passes. It makes you come away respecting dogs and a better understanding of how they help people. Dogs save our lives, and we save theirs. To say that dogs are man’s best friend is accurate, but a gross understatement. Dogs are amazing creatures, as this book shows. They serve us with unconditional love, return to us after a separation, and help us in our time of weakness and inability. They comfort us, watch over us, and spend time with us. No wonder some dog owners insist that they are part of their family and treat them as such. There are some people that are able to relate to their dogs a lot better than they can people. No one really needs a book to impress these notions upon us, but it’s nice to be reminded once in a while of the role dogs play in our lives, psyches, and place in the world. Dog books are the perfect avenues for doing this. This book also has a lot of funny parts too, which helps bring balance to the somber themes. The funny parts usually come from the dog’s observations, or from the way he thinks, feels, or interacts. Spoiler alert, so skip this part if you don’t want to know what a dog’s purpose is. Or at least, what this dog determined it to be, and that is, to stay by his human/master’s side no matter what. And this dog fulfilled his purpose quite well. This book isn’t just a story told from a dog’s point of view. That would be kind of easy. This is told in a way that makes you believe the dog really IS telling a story, from the way he enjoys flicking water with his nose, to tramping through mud, through the way he’s a little confused sometimes by his owner’s actions and words. And since he has a dog’s intelligence, he doesn’t understand all of the English language when his human is speaking. He does understand the words and phrases he’s learned as a dog, like “biscuit” and “ride”, and I thought this was a nice touch by the author. Another spoiler alert, so skip down to the next paragraph, but I’m not so sure if I agree with the idea that the same dog keeps returning in different dog bodies over and over again. The reason I disagree is because every dog I’ve ever had has had a different personality than the one before. Since there is no way to prove or disprove, it’s just an opinion on my part. I do know that when dogs and owners are separated accidentally, dogs can travel miles to find their way back home to you. Mine did. This book would be a great book to read any time of year. I could recommend it as a nice summer read, a cozy winter read, or a wonderful gift idea for a birthday or holiday. At times the book can seem a little manipulative in how it brings emotions across, but that’s kind of to be expected in a book told from a dog’s point of view. Most dog lovers have big hearts, so they’re easily moved by dog stories. Dogs depend on us much more than cats do. Cats are independent, while dogs can be quite needy. Another spoiler alert, but it’s really shocking when the dog passes away. You see this rarely in stories, and its heartbreaking in this one, but so joyful when he comes back again. You begin to wish and hope that your own dog will return if and when he dies. This book would be great for children, teenagers, and adults. How does this book compare to other dog stories? Old Yeller is an excellent dog book, and it was heartrending in its own right. It’s always heartbreaking when a dog dies in a story, but that makes it so relatable. Who hasn’t lost a dog, or cried when one dies? Call of the Wild is another great dog book, and it has become a literary classic. Another dog story called Chalou, a children’s book, is a tearjerker about a dog that is separated from its masters (two teenage boys), finds a new home and owner on a farm (an old grandfather and his little granddaughter), and is later reunited with his original owners by chance, who decides to let Chalou stay on the farm because he’s very happy there. Marley and Me was a dog book that was turned into a movie, and this dog has to be put to sleep, which is always a sad event for any family or owner who’s ever had to go through the experience. It is losing a family member. Dog stories like these remind us of our relationship with dogs, and humanity in general. A Dog’s Purpose does more than just tell a good dog story. It also tells the practical way that having a dog for emotional, and sometimes physical support can benefit veterans dealing with PTSD or other injuries. Studies show that the presence of an emotional support dog can lower anxiety, blood pressure, and ease stress, not to mention all of the physical tasks a well-trained service dog can perform. Throughout history, dogs have worked side by side humans, pulling sleds, rescuing victims, and mending broken hearts and minds. This is a bond that is reinforced again and again in this book. If you want to read more from this author on the subject of books, check out the sequel, A Dog’s Journey, where he continues his reincarnated lives and encounters new characters and situations. Other dog books by Mr. Cameron include A Dog’s Way Home, The Dog Master, The Dogs of Christmas, and Emory’s Gift, not to mention all of the Dog’s Purpose books.

Immediately Increase Your Efficiency and Effectiveness with Three Actions - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Immediately Increase Your Efficiency and Effectiveness with Three Actions - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Why your current way of working is costing you time and results and how to fix it. I was a budding entrepreneur who had just quit her full-time job and was working hard to build a solid consulting practice. The entire weekend was spent cleaning my home from top to bottom in an effort to remove every hidden dust particle or sneaky pollen invader that could have contributed to my husband’s tortuous allergies. It was Monday morning, and I was telling my male business mentor how I had spent my weekend, expecting him to sing my praises as a business owner who also made time for family. I was wrong. “Crystal! How much do you charge an hour!? Why in the world did you pay $100/hour for home cleaning!?” That one sentence changed my life forever. Had I devoted that time to my business, I could have made nearly ten times over what a cleaning service would charge. Work Smarter not Harder The phrase “Work smarter not harder” has been a part of the American consciousness since the 1930s yet many professional fail to grasp the meaning. It’s not the motto of the lazy. In fact, if you’d like, you can still work the same amount of hours. However, by working smarter, you’ll get better results in those hours which can lead to raises or business growth. Three Tips for Increasing Efficiency and Effectiveness Create a prioritized to-do list daily. The key word is “prioritized.” Start with those items that are revenue generating or will result in the greatest return. Getting contracts out, following up on hot leads, finishing up your boss’ beloved pet projectâ€"all of these things are more important than filing and other administrative tasks. You can justify not completing reports if you’re exceeding your sales goal by 30%. However, you cannot justify lagging sales with too much data entry work. In fact, in the first scenario, you may score a new (or additional) assistant! Perform non-revenue generating activities only once. Whether you’re an employee or business owner, if you are involved in revenue generation, that should be your primary focus during the day. All other items should be outsourced, whenever possible. Did upper management create a new weekly report for you to complete? Fill it out one time while creating a screen capture video of the steps and then outsource it to an internal or (if legal) external assistant. If the item can be completed remotely, consider finding help on a site like Odesk.com or Guru.com.   Don’t do this though. Simple research, data entry, and other similar items should also be delegated/outsourced. Again, create screen capture videos, write directions, or have the person who will assist you observe and record out thorough instructions. Schedule down time. The Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) recently conducted a study to measure the effects of vacations on work productivity. 77% of supervisors responded that employees who take vacation are more productive in the workplace.  Breaks play an equally important role. A University of Illinois Study found that the brains ability to focus drops after centering on a single task for an extended period of time. Even brief diversions from a singular task can help increase productivity and focus.

5 Steps to Hire Top Talent

5 Steps to Hire Top Talent Better Hiring Strategies to Find the Top Talent You Need It’s incredibly hard for companies today to find the talent they need. Since the beginning of 2015, there have been more than 5 million open jobs in the U.S. at any given time. As a result, perpetually understaffed businesses are losing out on productivity, which adds up to a $280 billion loss across the country each year. The traditional recruiting model is broken. These tips based on hard data will help you find and keep the talent you need. According to a new information from Hired, a recruiting marketplace based in San Francisco, we can thank our broken hiring model for the talent struggle. Titled The Opportunity Index, the study found that 82 percent of respondents view the job search process negatively, saying it is more stressful than moving, planning a wedding, getting a root canal, or public speaking. I spoke with Mehul Patel, CEO at Hired, to figure out how businesses can improve their hiring strategies and find the top talent they need to succeed. Here’s what he had to say: Rethink Your Recruiting Tactics The data show that the money you’re investing in a headhunter may not be worth it. Only 14 percent of working adults are landing jobs through a recruiter or staffing agency. Why? Working adults are tired of their inboxes being filled with irrelevant and vague job opportunities from recruiters who haven’t done their due diligence before clicking send. After being conditioned to ignore recruiter spam, candidates are overlooking even the few good opportunities that come their way. The payment structure for recruiters can also lead to a low return on investment. Most recruiters are paid through commission, so their number one priority is to fill as many roles as possible, not keep candidates in those positions long-term. The hiring and onboarding process uses up a lot of company resources, so turnover is not in your best interest. Prioritize Passive Candidates The best, most in-demand candidates are not writing cover letters or submitting online job applications; companies come to them. The data show that this mentality is expanding across the talent pool. In fact, 40 percent of working adults say they aren’t actively looking for a new job, but are open to hearing about new opportunities if a company reaches out to them. Along the same lines, one in five daydream about leaving their current job on a weekly basis, but action is lagging. In comparison, 14 percent are actively applying to new jobs. Tap Your Company’s Network Given recruiters’ limited success and top talent’s tendency to skip past the job application process, companies are left struggling to find ways to connect with the right passive candidates. In addition to using hiring services that match candidates and companies based on skillsets and interests â€" the top two things survey respondents say would make job searching easier â€" companies should incent professional networking programs to increase referrals from current employees. Referrals are one of the top ways many working adults found their current job, and this is especially true for respondents who say they love their current job. Of note, 55 percent of working adults would rather find a job through someone they know than apply to one themselves, and the same percentage say they are more likely to apply for a job if a friend works at the company. Know That Salary Isn’t Everything If limited resources prevent your company from competing on the salary front, fear not. Two out of three employed adults say they would take a pay cut of around 8 percent to be happier at work, and one in 10 would sacrifice more than 20 percent of their salary to be happier. Activity on the Hired platform matches this sentiment: 75 percent of users don’t accept the highest paying job offer they receive. But if a soaring salary isn’t what candidates are after, what will convince them to switch jobs? Company culture, values, and flexibility are all increasingly important to job seekers, so hiring managers must find ways to highlight these aspects during the interview process. For example, inviting a candidate to join an informal lunch or team happy hour will take the pressure off the interview process and give an authentic look at your company’s culture. Businesses should also highlight lower cost benefits that promote autonomy, like the ability to work remotely, maintain a flexible work schedule or take generous parental leave. Make Opportunities For Advancement Clear When asked why they left their last job, two of the top three reasons given indicated a perceived lack of career opportunity. One in four said the new opportunity was too good to pass up and one in five saw limited opportunity for advancement in their current role. During the interview process, be upfront about what the candidate’s career path could look like at your company. Share typical timelines for promotions, specific milestones they must achieve before gaining more responsibility, and what lateral opportunities are available in other departments. Once the new hire begins, stick to your promises by scheduling regular check-ins and creating a game plan to help them meet their career goals. The tools the recruiting industry relied on for decades are no longer working, and salary alone isn’t enough to entice top talent to make a switch. Patel encourages companies to rethink their process for adding new team members, from deploying new tactics to identify the right talent to highlighting culture and career opportunities for candidates. Bottom line: the companies that tailor their hiring procedures to meet candidates’ needs will win the talent war.
