I read an article several weeks ago about what employees need most. I can’t even remember where I found it or how, but it was basically saying that although pay is important in any job, it only goes so far. I remember the article listed maybe 8 or 10 things that factor into the happiness of employees, but the two I remember are the ones that resonated most with me.
Freedom — that’s a pretty big one in my book. If I don’t have the freedom to work the way I work best, I’m certainly not going to be as productive.
Connections — because I don’t know of anyone that just wants to work for a paycheck. The individual moments are much more important than meetings.
So what’s most important to you?
Coco agrees with the whole freedom thing — she just wants more of it. =)
