It has been almost a year since the release of the Iowa Employment Values Study.  The study revealed that Iowa workers wanted to balance their work and family time more than their bosses realized.  It was also discovered that bosses did not realize that flexible time was just as important as pay to employees as a reason to stay at their jobs.  Recognition of hard work (respect) was rated as the most important aspect of the job by employees surveyed.  Employers are well served by understanding the values and needs of employees.  The study was conducted in 2007 by David P. Lind & Associates of Clive, Iowa.  The full report can be obtained through their website www.dplaconsulting.com.  If your organization would like to conduct an employee survey to determine their values, needs, satisfaction and engagement levels, contact us through our website www.wrightsources.com.  If you want to learn how companies profit by giving workers what they want — read “The Enthusiastic Employee” by David Sirota.
