Keeping employees motivated and happy is a key to success for many of the world’s top companies, including fast food chains like Taco Bell. From GED prep to educational support to college scholarships, Taco Bell helps its employees achieve their goals in all sorts of ways.
While this level of support might seem strange for a fast food chain, the company recognizes that today’s workers tend to demand more from their employers. Besides collecting a paycheck, young employees also want to develop a healthy balance between their work lives and personal lives. That’s why Taco Bell provides both full- and part-time staffers with access to educational resources from their first day forward. For instance, the company fully funds an all-inclusive, start-to-finish GED program specially designed for its employees. Along with receiving unlimited access to study materials and practice tests, the program also provides students with advisers who guide them through every step of the process.

Their work suggests that the attitudes, personality, and values that a person brings to the workplace are better predictors of whether the employee will be satisfied than any of the external factors a company or manager might provide the employee. In fact, their studies indicate that a person with high satisfaction will generally report being highly satisfied, no matter the situation within the company. Similarly, a person who reports low satisfaction will consistently report low satisfaction, no matter what the company may do to increase the employee's satisfaction.
