How do you know that your employees are not satisfied?

Some of the behaviours of dissatisfied employees are:

1. Low productivity

2. Making lame excuses

3. Frequently calling in sick

4. Becoming argumentative

5. Becoming critical of other employees

6. Complaints by other employees.

It isn't easy to identify unsatisfied employees just by looking at them. The signs and symptoms of dissatisfaction and low morale are often more subtle. However, there are common trends among unsatisfied employees that indicate you might have a problem that you need to address. Disgruntled employees can negatively affect productivity, morale and the reputation of your company.

Regular tardiness, high absenteeism and long lunch breaks are common among dissatisfied employees and often accompany low productivity. When other employees have to fill in for absent co-workers, resentment builds and low morale spreads. Attendance problems are sometimes an indication that the employee is dealing with pressing personal issues rather than work issues, so good communication is important for discovering where the problem lies.

Productivity is a good indicator of employee satisfaction. If an employee's quality of work falls off dramatically, it may be an indication of dissatisfaction. It could also be caused by personal issues or problems with co-workers, so it's important to find out the underlying cause. Regular errors, sloppy work and low productivity are not only signs of an unsatisfied employee, they can affect a company's bottom line.

Inattention to detail and inaccurate work affects customers, clients and co-workers. An increase in customer complaints can point to a problem with a specific employee or groups of employees. Co-workers may complain about having to deal with the results of poor work done by others. An employee may be facing unrealistic expectations or a high workload, or may need more training. The reasons for complaints should be addressed before the company starts to lose clients.

A bad attitude can manifest in frequent complaints, arguments and poor customer service. Everyone has an off day now and then, but continual sullenness and outbreaks of temper can affect the whole office. An employee who fails to follow instructions or refuses requests from supervisors is not a happy employee. Sudden changes in appearance and hygiene are symptoms of a negative attitude. Resolve the issues underlying poor attitude immediately before it spreads in the company.

People regularly leave jobs to advance their careers or for personal reasons, but employees leaving in droves may point to a high level of dissatisfaction. An employee with some seniority in the company suddenly turning in a resignation is often a signal that something is wrong within your organization. Exit interviews are an opportunity to discover why employees are leaving the company and may identify areas in which to improve.

Most unsatisfied employees are unhappy with their jobs for specific reasons, many of which can be addressed. However, in some cases, the signs an unsatisfied employee exhibits may be a precursor to workplace violence. Train management and staff to recognize some of the warning signs that can lead to violence, such as threats, property destruction, overt hostility and talk of suicide. Make it clear to employees that such behavior should immediately be reported to management.

the problem manifests itself in the following ways

1. Increased absenteeism

2. Decreased revenue and increased customer complaints

3. Increased labour / staff turnover

4. Increased insubordination cases

5. low productivity

6. Increased gossiping

7. Uncooperative behaviour

8. improper work by HRD or Absent HRD

9. Irresponsible Organization and its policies and its negative image

10. employees spending too much time at work resulting in improper work life balance

last but not the least

11. improper wages, compensation and rewards policies

12 lack of respect and due recognition for merit 

You can easily predict it by appraising their performance. 

Even though the question is very nice about employees. Actually being non satisfied does not allow the employee to work in less productivity or being absent from work. We discussed this before. They can simply communicate with their manager to explain the problem they are facing.

Maybe the manager is not that aware of the problems and can help them solve the issue.

Less productivity or work conflicts for sure wont solve the problems. The higher management will simply recruit new employees and that's it. Large corporations sacrifice everything so that the business keeps running.

1. Lack of volunteer attitudes extension of help to co-workers.

2.Passive in developing constructive relationships, instead start coccus building and unite with negative motives.

3.They hesitate to take part in the team building process.  They often resist for nurturing relationships for mutual benefits.

4.They start considering respect as an unwanted element in the work-place and try to avoid respectful attitudes to a certain extend which try to dissolve a positive energy generated in the workplace.

5.The interaction with the clients and vendors reflect a negative in attitude and relationship building.

6.Team-work a night-mare.

7.Frequent conflicts.

8.Anti-propaganda and dispirit, spread negative messages which far away from truth.

9.Generate issues for less important matters.

10.Try to complain on unwanted and unproductive matters and draw mass attention for inflicting dis fame
