Overview

You might be unhappy with your work if:

• You dread Monday.
• You worry about Monday on Sunday
• You are not interested in the workplace or the work. 
• You suffer from low energy levels. 
• There is no joy in your life. 
• You are forgetful at work.
• You procrastinate or put off tasks or assignments.  You do just enough to get by
  

The causes of job dissatisfaction are likely as numerous as employees that are dissatisfied but some of the leading causes include: a feeling that you are underpaid and/or underappreciated, management that is unsympathetic, uncaring, or dictatorial, limited growth potential, a shortage of tasks that are meaningful to you, uncomfortable workplace relationships, unjust or unfair treatment, ethical concerns, work/life balance concerns, inadequate training to complete the job duties assigned. 
Unhappy employees don’t perform well on the job and their struggle at the workplace can spill over into their personal lives. 
Attitudes can be contagious. One unhappy employee can influence others such that overall satisfaction and productivity levels drop.  When productivity drops problems with job satisfaction become company problems.  

Consider your own work situation. 
Are you happy? Are you passionate? Do you look forward to your work or do you dread your work? 
Most people look for balance. They know there will be aspects of any and every job that are not pleasant or desirable, but those unpleasant elements are weighed against more favorable characteristics of the work, job, or company. A company, for instance, may offer a great benefit package but their pay rates are below the industry average. A company may have engaged, dedicated, kind, and courteous management but they may offer few opportunities for advancement.  
The perfect job, like the perfect person, simply does not exist but how much dissatisfaction is too much and what can we do about it?

These are the questions we will grapple with in this seminar.
