Employee Satisfaction
Employee Satisfaction measures the extent to which employees are content with their jobs, including aspects of their work environment, relationships with colleagues and supervisors, and their roles within the organization. This metric is crucial for assessing workplace morale, productivity, and employee retention.
HOW TO MEASURE
Employee Satisfaction is typically gauged through periodic surveys that include questions on various aspects of job satisfaction. These surveys might use Likert scales (e.g., 1 to 5) to quantify levels of satisfaction across different areas.

Encourage Open Communication: Promote transparency and open lines of communication between staff and management.
FORMULA
There is no standard formula for Employee Satisfaction as it involves aggregating responses from satisfaction surveys to create an overall score or percentage representing satisfaction levels.
