Money used to be viewed as the most effective motivator at work. However, Laszlo Bock, the SVP of Google’s People Operations once said in an interview, “People don’t stay for the money.” It is especially true with millennials, who has already made up the majority of the workforce. A strong organizational culture is key to motivate millennials.

Google has done extremely well in providing its employees with a motivational workplace, which is in accord with its philosophy “To create the happiest, most productive workplace in the world.” Although Google is famous for its perks, what motivate the employees most is the corporate culture of Google. For example, the employees are given the freedom over how and when work is completed. This allows them to be self-directed, which proved to be powerful in encouraging innovation. Moreover, through social channels and seriously treated surveys, even the voice of a single google employee can be heard. It indicates transparency of the decision process and the trust in the employees.

A successful company always consider its employees to be one of the most valuable assets. To retain today’s millennials as the employees, either a small startup or a large conglomerate should evaluate its corporate culture with caution.
