Employee satisfaction affects work efficiency, while office conditions and later-stage morale loss can push the company toward strike warnings.
Employee satisfaction affects work efficiency and creative output; later company stages lose morale faster after hotfix 1.0.2, while exact furniture scores and strike thresholds are not officially published.
Employee satisfaction is an operating stat, not just office decoration. The official store description ties it to work efficiency and creative output, and warns that a poor environment can reduce morale far enough to create strike pressure.
What is confirmed now
- Office conditions contribute to employee morale.
- Satisfaction affects efficiency and creative output.
- Hiring and training are part of managing the team.
- Hotfix 1.0.2 increased morale loss during later stages.
- The same patch changed high-morale dialogue so it triggers once instead of repeating.
That patch note explains a common change after moving offices: morale can fall faster because the company has reached a later stage, even if no single desk or decoration was removed. Check the stage and the morale trend before assuming the save is broken.
What is not a current rule
The developer has announced advanced employee mechanics with traits, skills, experience, salary demands and raises. Those features are on the roadmap and do not belong in a current satisfaction formula until an update ships them.
The public sources also do not provide a universal furniture score, room layout or exact strike threshold. This page therefore explains the confirmed effect and version change without inventing a “100% morale layout.”

Questions players ask next
Does employee satisfaction affect productivity?
Yes. The official Steam description directly states that satisfaction affects work efficiency and creative output.
Why does morale fall faster later in the game?
Hotfix 1.0.2 increased morale loss in later stages, so a setup that was stable in the garage may need attention after expansion.
Are employee traits and salary demands available now?
The developer lists unique traits, experience and salary demands as future mechanics, not confirmed current features.
