Workplace satisfaction is more important than ever before for retaining employees, with one recent survey finding that 77 percent of workers were more likely to stay with an employer if they were satisfied with their company’s organizational culture. TollFreeForwarding.com researched online review data for 200 companies across industries and ranked them based on the following criteria: culture and values, diversity and inclusion, work-life balance, compensation, career opportunities, and senior management satisfaction. The research found the construction industry to have the most satisfied employees of any industry, earning an overall score of 72.20 out of 100.
Several factors are likely contributing to construction’s high scores, including skyrocketing wages, which have seen a more than 20-percent increase since 2021. Other contributing factors include increasing job opportunities, greater job security, and the availability of diverse roles.
“It’s clear that job satisfaction plays an important role in employee retention, and research shows that happy employees are more productive than those dissatisfied with their jobs,” says Jason O’Brien, COO of TollFreeForwarding.com.
