Quality of Work Life


Overview

Despite the claims by many that they separate their work from their personal lives, people are happiest when they work for companies that share their value system.

We’ll help design programs that respect the values of your most prized resource – your employees.

Scope And Deliverables

A value system refers to how an individual or a group of individuals organize their ethical or ideological values. A well-defined value system is a moral code.

Perceived Organizational Support (POS), is defined as the extent to which employees perceive that the organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being. POS is a key factor in influencing employee commitment to the organization, job satisfaction, and general quality of work life.

The factors that influence POS include:

  • Affective Organizational Commitment
  • Work-Family Culture
  • Sources of Stress:
    • Fairness
    • Work Conditions
    • Role Stress
    • Relations with Others
    • Parking and Commuting
    • Personal and Family
  • Sources of Satisfaction:
    • Fairness
    • Work Conditions
    • Salary and Benefits
    • Autonomy and Growth
    • Access to Non-work Activities
    • Overall Job and Life Satisfaction
    • Decent living standard and economic security
    • Mutual trust among employers and workers
    • Participation in decision making
    • Culture of openness regarding information
    • Healthy and safe work environment
    • Work-life balance
    • Encourages initiative and creativity
    • Opportunities to use and develop skills

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

SatiStar's Experience Makes The Difference!

  • . . . worked extremely well with the departmental and site managers . . . goal oriented and met the objectives set within the quoted budget and ensured the results were attained for the Company.

  • The guys from SatiStar did more in one week than we were able to do in 6 months.

  • Achieving ISO registration was far less onerous than we thought, our employees really rallied to the cause. The registration effort really brought us closer together as a team, and SatiStar really came through for us when we needed them.

  • We started this process a year ago with Mickey helping us create a spaghetti map of our processes on the whiteboard, and then his team guided us through their streamlining methodology and got us to where we are today. Our processes now look nothing like the spaghetti map – and we’re much more efficient today

  • This projected cycle time reduction of over 80% annual cost savings amounting to over 3% of sales, one-time savings of roughly $10 million, and working capital reduction of roughly $30 million really have us excited!

  • An outstanding success with Motorola’s vendor audit! What made this an exceptional achievement is that it typically takes 4 to 5 attempts to pass this audit. SatiStar’s expertise made it easy to avoid all the extra attempts.
