Employees don’t care about company swag, happy hours, or discounted gym memberships like you think they do. Those are great to have. But those are just perks. Here’s what people actually care about: ☑ Fair pay. Getting what they're worth. ☑ Transparency from the top. No misleading. ☑ Flexible schedules. Work-life balance matters. ☑ Managers who help them grow. ☑ Work that means something. ☑ Basic respect. Treated like humans, not machines. Leaders, take note. Happy teams don't come from fancy perks. They come from meeting real needs. What else would you add to the list? Share ♻ with others if this resonates. And follow me for more posts like this.
Spot on. Focus on core values - fair pay, growth, purpose.
The best way to get people to do their best work is to forget the carrot and the stick and focus on what makes people tick
Fair pay is absolutely crucial for your team
A few things I would add to the list: 1. Employees care about being heard and valued. 2. Employees want to be thanked and appreciated. 3. Respect. P.S. Thank you for the post, Reno!
Give employees opportunities to grow and they'll feel seen.
Perks can be used as complementary benefits but they can't substitute treating your employees poorly all year round.
Basic respect - it's disheartening to see people fight for a culture based on mutual respect, rather than fear. Reno Perry
I agree, Reno. People who feel a sense of purpose and have meaningful work enjoy greater career satisfaction.
YES. 100%. This is going into my career manifesto! Realizing I ought to write these wants and needs down and MANIFEST them.
