(When it's about all employees): You have to measure this from their job satisfaction survey results first, this will indicate you clearly with the required priorities should be considered to reach their satisfactory measures. Your survey of job satisfaction should include questions about their:

- Salary and compensations.

- Work atmosphere.

- Equity and justice.

- Sustainability

- Information cycling. 

- Development opportunities.

- Internal affairs.

- levels of advocacy and governance conducted at the corporate.

- Quality and quantity of work achieved.

- Employee's level of initiations accepted.

Those ten points might be the most important spots that concerns most of your employees.

 

 

(When it's about individuals): Find out the employee's current level of satisfaction that he/ she requires at his/ her job based on Maslow's hierarchy, this method could also provide you with the correct means of satisfaction that your employee needs.

find out which level your employee struggles to reach and help him/ her to achieve and sustain safely at that level.
