How to Maximize Job Satisfaction
Here are four easy ways to increase your job satisfaction from MSN Career Center:
1. Think positive
While you might think your job is the worst on the planet, everything has a silver lining. For starters, be grateful you have a job at all. Putting things in perspective – realizing everyone has a bad day at work and everyone has to start somewhere – you might begin to feel better about your situation.
2. Challenge yourself
If your boss won’t challenge you, challenge yourself. Set goals for yourself every day – aim to make 10 phone calls per hour or send 15 e-mails to clients. Develop mini-projects within your work and set deadlines for yourself to avoid boredom.
3. Reward yourself
Recognition is important for every employee. For every goal or challenge met, reward yourself. Make yourself a certificate to put in your cube or treat yourself to a ‘personal day’ off work. Don’t let your own hard work go unnoticed by anyone, even yourself.
4. Break up the monotony
No one likes doing the same thing day in and day out. To switch things up, take advantage of any breaks you have – get out of the office for lunch, take a walk, read a book or just get some fresh air. Also, don’t be afraid to ask your boss for new tasks for a small change of pace.

Impending Baby Boomer retirements, a widening skills gap driven by declining educational standards, and outdated and ineffective approaches to talent management are combining forces to produce a ‘perfect storm’ that threatens the global business economy, according to new research conducted by the Human Capital practice of Deloitte Consulting LLP and Deloitte Research.
In a recent US survey of human resources executives nationwide, conducted by Deloitte Consulting, more than 70 percent of the respondents say that incoming workers with inadequate skills pose the greatest threat to business performance over the next three years, followed by Baby Boomer retirement (61 percent), and the inability to retain key talent (55 percent). These survey findings are underscored in Deloitte Research’s report, “It’s 2008: do you know where your talent is? Why acquisition and retention strategies don’t work.”
“The overwhelming accumulation of data, including Deloitte Consulting’s new research, points to an inescapable conclusion: the widening skills gap, particularly among the categories of workers who disproportionately drive companies’ growth and performance, is a global phenomenon that will create unprecedented challenges for businesses,” said Ainar Aijala, vice-chairman, Deloitte Consulting and global service area leader of Deloitte Consulting’s Human Capital practice. “The confluence of demographic and social trends - the full force of which will begin to be felt in as little as three years - will leave behind companies that do not begin to rethink and redesign their approach to managing human capital.”
In only three years, the first wave of Baby Boomers will turn 62, the average retirement age in North America , Europe and Asia . According to the Deloitte Consulting survey, one-third of US companies expect to lose 11 percent or more of their current workforce to retirements by 2008.

Tips to Reduce Turnover
From: Robert Cameron
First, use a validated and legal pre employment test to screen out people with a poor work ethic and bad attitude that make it through normal hiring processes. They typically take about 20 minutes and they reveal more about that candidate then you will ever get in an interview, job app or background check. Average cost $20. Let someone else hire the riff raff.
Second, use a job fit assessment to match the right people to the right job. A person may interview well, have the right education and background, but doesn’t mean they fit the job. Find out if they have the same profile as your top performers. To do this is very simple with the employee assessment tools available. They are easy to use and understand, and will help you determine if the candidate fits the job. Average time is about 30 minutes with a cost under $100.
