A Public Agenda Foundation study, coauthored by Daniel Yankelovich, came up with these top ten qualities that today's workers want in a job:
1. Work with people who treat me with respect2. Interesting work3. Recognition for good work4. Chance to develop skills5. Work for people who listen if you have ideas about how to do things better6. A chance to think for myself7. Seeing the end results of my work8. Working for efficient managers9. A job that is not too easy10. Feeling well-informed about what is going on
Ponder that list. Notice what isn't included in the top ten: job security, benefits, vacation time, and high salary. Yet most companies still operate as though they are the big four -- the only ways to motivate and keep their employees. (Dallas Seminary Daily Devotional, 6-23-05)
