We've all heard of the kinds of facilities that really forward-looking (and generally rich) companies provide for their employees.
So, have you thought what you might provide for your employees.
Well, I'm here to tell you that if you are considering new staff facilities - standing desks, write-on walls, table-tennis tables, free coffee, basketball hoops, or whatever - you are probably wasting your time.
What really interests and motivates employees is 'good work' - work which fully exploits their skills, provides a challenge, has a role in the overall company mission (and a role they understand), has a social dimension - and which gives them satisfaction, pride and personal reward.
If you can't provide such work, the other 'add-ons' aren't likely to help.
