We all know someone who has left a job to get away from a boss at some point in their career.
A report by Gallup suggests at least 70% of our “engagement” at work depends on the boss.
But this means that, just as much as a bad boss can ruin a great job, a great boss can make a good job even better.
So, if people leave good jobs because of bad bosses, why don’t they seek out jobs with great bosses?
Because they don’t know where the good bosses are.
That’s why we’re here. We’re evaluating dental practices across Australia so we can help women find the roles they deserve.
But we want your opinion on what matters to you in the workplace.
What inspires you to say “I belong here”?
The Virago Group Workplace Wellness Survey has 10 easy questions which will help us determine which aspects play the biggest part in ensuring women stay engaged in the workplace and progress their careers.
How important are these to you?
- Having autonomy in your position (and being trusted to make the right call when questions or problems come up)
- Ongoing learning and development – are you eager to learn new skills and advance in the workplace?
- Recognition and reward – regular feedback and an annual review of your salary
- Flexible working arrangements
- Programs for parents returning to work after Parental Leave
- A balanced workday (we know patients run late and book last minute – do you have time for a regular break?)
- Encouraging health and fitness – a daily fruit bowl, discounts for the local gym, a work sponsored group-fitness activity
- Employee turnover rate (how many staff have left in the last year) Employee turnover rate (how many staff have left in the last year)
You deserve to be in a job that you love. Because you’re worth it.
