Most professionals in the safety and health field will not experience a rewarding sense of job satisfaction in 1996. Sad, but- at least according to the statistics- true. Only 33 percent of 1,102 professionals who responded to ISHN's annual Safety & Health Planning Survey say they expect to be satisfied at work this year, down from 46 percent last year. The troubling number is an apt kickoff topic for our Managing Careers column: if two-thirds of ISHN readers suffer career discontent, we have our work cut out for us with this new monthly report.
The Managing Careers column will feature information to help safety and health professionals better navigate their career paths. We plan to keep you abreast of new trends in your profession, and offer career success tactics. In profiles of your peers and colleagues- or perhaps even of you- we'll show how real safety and health professionals are getting by and getting ahead.
