Job enrichment is the process of improving employee satisfaction by modifying their work, either by adding increasingly challenging tasks or simply adding new tasks.

Job enrichment can be vertical (more challenging) or horizontal (more tasks). The benefits of job enrichment include higher productivity and less absenteeism. The disadvantages include the need to reorganize job roles and provide additional training for staff.
