The Key Ingredients for Being Satisfied at Work
A 2017 survey found just half of those surveyed said they were satisfied with their jobs. In fact, study after study has shown salary, titles, perks, fancy offices and other external rewards do not necessarily motivate people for long. Since a large part of our day is spent at our jobs, evidence suggests a different set of qualities result in higher satisfaction.
Turns out one of the key ingredients for life satisfaction is serving others as studies find people in these types of jobs are less depressed and healthier. Another component of job satisfaction is whether the work has meaning. Does the person feel like they are doing something important, something that will make a difference? People also report being more satisfied with work when they feel valued and recognized for their contribution. Lastly, studies find shared connections are important in how a person feels about the work. Is it a team effort, are employees encouraged to problem solve and be a part of the solution?
At the Denver area MorningStar communities, we have created an environment where team members are recognized for their contributions and provided with meaningful training and support to ensure their success. Working with seniors, we find meaning in providing residents with a lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community. We love the fact that seniors teach us to appreciate each new day and help us to better understand the aging process.

This includes health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, telehealth coverage, life insurance, and supplemental insurance (disability, accident, critical illness).
