Managing Work Expectations - Transforming Attitudes

Reduce Turnover and Increase Productivity

Managing Work Expectations - Transforming Attitudes - Open the door to mutual understanding Have you ever wondered what makes a good company great? It's the people. Committed, productive employees are key to organizational success and a healthy bottom line. The challenge, then, is retaining and developing satisfied, committed employees. The solution is Managing Work Expectations - Transforming Attitudes. This engaging, self-directed learning instrument helps your employees understand and manage their work expectations. Why? Because people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.

Explore 10 Key Expectations

In a typical employment situation, certain expectations -- such as salary, hours, and job duties -- are clearly understood by both employer and employee. Other expectations, however, are so intimately liked to an individual's concept of work that they often go unspoken or unacknowledged. Managing Work Expectations - Transforming Attitudes helps people explore 10 work expectations that impact today's employment relationships.

  • Structure - wanting clear instructions regarding what to do, how to do it, and what resources are available.
  • Diversity - wanting actions to support the belief that individual differences are important, if not essential, to a successful workplace.
  • Recognition - wanting to be noticed, appreciated, and rewarded.
  • Autonomy - wanting to affect the environment through free expression of ideas and viewpoints, as well as by utilizing skills and abilities.
  • Environment - wanting to be physically and socially comfortable in one's work setting.
  • Expression - wanting work to reflect one's identify.
  • Teamwork - wanting co-workers to cooperate and share their knowledge and skills with each other in order to attain mutually agreed-upon goals.
  • Stability - wanting to know that one's job is secure.
  • Balance - wanting to achieve both personal and professional goals, and wanting others to understand how important those goals are.
  • Career Growth - wanting opportunities for career advancement and skill development.
