Sandim,
I can tell by your post that you really are looking to create a good place to work. It is very important that before you start to grow your company to create a company culture that you would want to work in. Benefits are necessary, but a good culture will go much further. When we hire a new team member they are always encouraged to talk to our other employees before they make any decision. I want guys that want to work here long term, not work for us just for the pay and benefits. You still have to pay well and offer perks, but that will not keep people long term.
Bonuses are a great tool, but before you start offering them, make sure you have a documented system in place. Also, make sure the bonuses are obtainable for the people. Incentives are great when used properly, but they also can cause more harm then good if not followed through with.
I don't know your location, but you may want to check with some other local business owners about where to look for help. It is always good to know other people in your same situation on a local level.
