As employers, we strive to have happy employees and reduce our turnover rate. Yet, many of us fail to thoroughly analyze our compensation packages on a regular basis.

Even if we’re lucky enough to have turnover rates below the industry average, I think there is always room to improve.

Individualizing our compensation packages may be one of the best ways to retain and motivate employees.

I encourage my fellow operators to look at the number of motivational theories in industrial psychology and think about how in depth we as employers link these theories to investment in our team members.

Take a look at the six major theories of motivation and ask yourself if you’re focusing on them to provide maximum benefits for your team members and companies.
