Managers should do every thing they can to enhance the job satisfaction of their employees. Do you agree or d

Hard to argue with 10,000 years of history, so my answer is "no".

Managers should do every thing they can to enhance the job satisfaction of their employees. Do you agree or d
Agreed. Satisfied employees are more productive and make a manager's job easier and it reflects well on the manager.
Reply:it all depends on who you are asking. If you are asking the employee, they will more than likely say yes.





Me on the other hand am part of the management and I have found that I have to draw the line when quality, production, customer service, and the company become jeopardized.





So with that said I would have to say "NO". I would not place my employees satisfaction over and what is best for the company. If you did you would be catering to your employees and not you customers.





Although this I'm sure is not a popular opinion, look at how unions have hurt companies and there preformance. If you were to do everything you could do, bending over backward, to make your employees happy, you would be giving them just what they needed to bankrupt the company.
Reply:Agree. The cost of recruiting and training new employees is one of the biggest sources of waste in the modern economy. It is far more efficient and effective to create a positive work environment and happy employees than to deal with the cost of turnover.
Reply:Agree. A happy workforce is a productive one. Not only will morale be up but productivitity also.
Reply:Managers should do whatever they can, within reason, to increase the productivity of their employees, and insure that they don't quit. Keeping employees happy is one important aspect.
Reply:Agreed, within policy and law. A manager's job is to ensure that all employees have the necessary tools to perform their job adequately. Training, supplies, environment, etc..





There's a difference between being a manager and being a figurehead. A manager has to command respect thus be able to lead. They must make decisions that further the companies business and part of it is keeping good employees in and bad employees out. If good employees are satisfied the turnover will be low and the company will run efficiently and in the black.





A company with a low turnover keeps experience working for them. The longer a good employee stays, the more experience that company has to draw off of.
Reply:agree. anything within the grounds of ethical business ideas/solutions.
