On the surface this seems like a reasonable question. However for me it points to a lie about motivation that all supervisors and managers have bought into and need to relearn. Motivation is not just about money! Sure if you don't make enough its about the money, of course it is!But once a reasonable wage is established and ills can be paid your employees will begin to search for other things. in this cast i walk you through how to motivate your employees when they are making a reasonable wage. There are four questions guiding this cast:\nWhat do your employees need?\nWhat can you provide them?\nWho do you need to be?\nWho should you hire?\n\nBy the time we are done i am confident you will not be able to look at motivation the same way again.
