Our own research of Australasian businesses over the last 10 years shows that employee satisfaction results are skewed more positively than business performance or employer satisfaction results, and are less relevant or aligned when businesses are not performing to expectations or not achieving their business goals.
The research suggests that business owners may not actually be communicating effectively with employees when businesses are low or average performing. The risk in these circumstances is that employees will be enjoying working with their work mates, potentially at the expense of being focussed on what could deliver the best performance results for the business.
When businesses become high performing, employee satisfaction appears to marginally lag the company alignment and performance numbers.
