A large part of motivating your team is knowing what they want most out of their job. According to a recently compiled questionnaire asking employees to rank words based on what they want and work for the most, there are five top areas of job satisfaction among women dental employees.
Here’s a look at those top five areas, and how to improve those areas in your dental practice.
- Helping people. According to the Myers-Briggs scale, the number one female employee personality type is ESFJ, which means that these employees are interested in others and love being around and helping people. So, it’s not surprising that helping people is what women dental employees want most from their jobs. To develop a strong team, hire people with the right personalities for the various positions in your practice.
- Job security. Women team members want to know that their job future is secure, and that they work for a successful practice – one that patients are proud to call their dental home. Set time to sit down with team members to set goals that complement the practice’s goals, letting them know what role they play in helping the practice reach its full potential.
- Teamwork. Women want to feel like they’re party of a team, and it’s important for them to be able to count on each other. Women employees don’t want to worry about petty gossip of conflict getting in their way. So, if there are problems within the staff, you should talk with those involved right away.
- Paycheck. Of course female employees want to get paid for their hard work, but they also want opportunities to advance and earn raises. Performance measurements should be included in every job description, making it clear how employees are able to earn a pump in pay.
- Satisfaction. At the end of the day, women want to feel like they’ve accomplished something. Workplace satisfaction starts with a detailed job description that outlines your expectations and makes performance measurements clear. Also, it’s important to give your employees regular feedback – both the good with the bad – so they know what they’re doing right and what areas could use some improvement.
