1. Bonuses. Someone did a superb job? Reward them with cash. A little money goes a long way to keeping up the morale around the office.
2. Create a sense of community. When you were younger, sometimes you would love going to school, not to learn, but to socialize with your friends. Make work a fun place. Allow them to communicate with each other.
3. Be a nice boss. Instead of just one lunch break, give them 4. A relaxed worker is more efficient than a slaved worker will ever be.
4. Remove hierarchy. Being the manager or team leader doesn’t mean you deserve higher pay. It just means you have a different role. Always promote within and demote just as often. Keep things fresh.
and most importantly…
5. Respect. Instead of treating your workers as “below” you, think of them as partners, all working together to increase your business.
In closing, although a high salary doesn’t hurt, it’s not all about the money, it’s all about the work environment.
