		<description><![CDATA[ A new study has linked employee satisfaction to both management style and corporate attitudes towards employees. In an article published in Springer’s Journal of Business and Psychology , researchers from the Universite Francois Rabelais in Tours, France, revealed new evidence that meeting employees’ basic needs for competence, autonomy and relatedness leads to improved job satisfaction. According to Dr. Nicolas Gillet, when employers use the threat of punishment as motivation and give employees the impression that their contributions are not valued, employee well-being goes down. Past studies have shown that over a fourth of the variation in performance among individual employees is due to differences in their feelings of well-being. As a result, employee well-being has increasingly become the focus of corporate attention as businesses strive to improve performance for economic reasons. For this study, the researchers investigated how employees’ perceptions of their organization as valuing or devaluing worker contributions , as well as supervisors’ management styles affect employees’ feelings of well-being. Employees from French companies of various sizes were surveyed about the management styles of their immediate superiors. They were also asked how supportive their employers were. The researchers found that those employees who had managers who supported their autonomy reported higher levels of satisfaction. In addition, those employees who believed their companies valued their contributions were more satisfied. When supervisors utilized a punitive management style, or when employees felt unappreciated by their organizations, they reported lower levels of satisfaction. The investigators concluded that businesses should consider the needs of employees in order to improve productivity. According to Gillet, “We have shown, for the first time, that the fulfillment and frustration of these needs plays a central role in the improvement or reduction of well-being at work. Therefore, to satisfy employees&#8217; needs, supervisors should provide subordinates with options rather than use threats and deadlines.&#8221; Related posts: Workers with freedom report higher employee satisfaction Teleworkers more satisfied than office-based employees Generation Gaps at Work Not Just About Age, Study Says ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Over the past six months, Aberdeen has surveyed 131 organizations to understand their video conferencing usage patterns, deployment strategies, and perspectives on business value associated with these solutions. In this process, they looked at companies where all employees had access to some form of video conferencing (n=47) and compared them to companies where some employees lacked access to video. By comparing both of these groups to Best-in-Class practices for video conferencing identified in the September 2011 benchmark report Enterprise Video Collaboration , Aberdeen was able to determine how companies gained value from making video conferencing ubiquitous. This report shows how the challenges, solutions, and value propositions associated with high levels of video adoption and relate to improving employee productivity and business outcomes.

		<description><![CDATA[ Written by Elaine Hirsch You finally have your MBA and your first “real” job. Writing the resume was easy since your department counselor helped you with it. The interview also went well because you were given problems taken straight out of textbooks. Now you are faced with a difficulty at work that none of your professors ever covered, leaving you helpless. What Is Communication and How Important Is It? Dictionary.com defines communication as “The imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs”. Did you know that listening is also an important communication skill and requires practice? The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business published a paper entitled “ In Defense of the MBA ,” which stated, “And they realize that faculty who are stars with students because of their outstanding communication, teaching,and advising are also a valuable part of the b-school equation.” Understanding financial formulas, memorizing case studies, and recalling successful companies is no longer enough to succeed in business; according to MBA Online , adequately communicating your ideas has become a crucial skill to have. What an MBA Doesn’t Cover Just as the example in paragraph one explains, most classes in an MBA are geared to learning the mechanics of a business enterprise. Unfortunately, many MBA programs won&#8217;t teach its students how to close sales, pitch a business idea,or even conduct day-to-day customer service. As more companies are competing for the consumer&#8217;s dollar, having these skills will make a huge difference in getting visibility for your product. There is a concern also with online education. Does it give an MBA graduate the interpersonal skills required to effectively do their job once they land it? According to authors from Drexel University the number of students taking at least one online course in the fall of 2007 was 3.9 million and is increasing every year. While online programs could improve communication skills in terms of using social media and email to get in touch with professors and students, it still detracts students from learning how to interact with customers. How to Learn on Your Own Consider joining a group that reads and discusses a book to share opinions and analyze what you read. Speaking of books, Jeff Bezos&#8217; biography is one of great achievement. You can read about it on his website . He made book reading easy through Kindle communication technology. Getting your hands dirty by starting your personal social media campaign isa great way to learn communication skills. Starting a blog and writing weekly articles about a topic that interests you, linking it to your Twitter account and networking with like-minded people, and leveraging these tools to improve visibility on your LinkedIn account are great (and free) ways to being increasing your network size. All that you do to improve your communication skills will help you personally andin the business world. A degree, while helpful, can only go so far. All you say and do will have a lasting impact. Carefully consider adding all you can to your communication skills.
