“Real Answers” looks at the latest research on factors which employees say shape their level of job satisfaction.

Licensed mental health counselor Christopher Anderson says at-work contentment is impacted less by pay and benefits — and more by how well co-workers get along and respect each other.

Also in this conversation:

• Why it matters
  
• Three cautions about dynamics that can hamper at-work connections
  
• How to keep good work/life balance
  
• Are you taking your allotted vacations and time off?  Those matter — to you, to your loved ones, and to the quality of your work.
  
• A story about how it helps you and your household — if you don’t wait until the weekends to schedule some kind of personal, couple, family, social, or fun event.
