Serving Others Is a Key Ingredient for Life Satisfaction

 

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. Do you feel like you are doing something important, something that will make a different? 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 MorningStar Senior Living’s communities of MorningStar at Arcadia, MorningStar at Arrowhead, MorningStar of Fountain Hills and MorningStar at Golden Ridge, we feel it is a privilege to serve. Working with seniors, we know our lives are enriched by listening to residents’ life stories and recognizing their sage advice is based on a wealth of experience.  We love the fact that seniors teach us to appreciate each new day and help us to better understand the aging process.  


Our Phoenix caregiver jobs offer a full range of benefits and competitive wages. Moreover we provide meaningful training and support to each employee to ensure their success. In addition as our philosophy includes promoting from within whenever possible, it gives team members a chance for a career they can be proud of. 


If you have the heart of a caregiver, we invite you to join our MorningStar family. Visit our Career page for a link to fulfilling caregiver jobs in Phoenix, and use our convenient online application to apply.
