Throwing money at won't work, you have to make them feel that they are making a contribution to the company and getting something out of it. How many here remember their employee son's or daughters birthday? or their wifes birthday? Ever think of giving them a gift check for a restaurant? How about even talking to them about family life?

Managing people is a skill thats best learned early in ones life.
As you deal with customers, and respect them how about the same for people that work for you? Just a paycheck dosen't cut it in todays world. Knowing your people, how far they want to go in your company, what they can do, and gently shoving them to improve. You have to think on how to improve production, how to keep an open mind when dealing with them and thinking both ways their side and yours.


Remember employees talk to each other, so make the best of it.
