Based on the post “Benefits of Respect” by Hilary Johnson, I can say I agree that sometimes when you take a job it’s not the money that matters but the incentives given by the company to employees that have better performances.
If you treat people with appreciation and rrespect, you get loyalty and hard work in return. I believe that in businesses one of the most important aspects is respect, because if employees are respected by their employers and viceversa, other values increase with it, like confidence, honesty and loyalty. Being treated with respect could mean that you are not seen as a number or a walking asset to the company, but more as a contributor to the company’s growth. Receiving incentive prices for your hard work is a way of the company to let you know you are important for them, and they are noticing the effort you put into your job, making you want to stay there as you feel loyal to the company.
Incentive rewards help companies retain their employees, which is beneficial since they don’t have to qualify more people, spend time interviewing who is suitable for the job and so focus on what can they do with the employees they have now to make the company better in the future.
