Offering a competitive salary and benefits package is a huge part of building a quality team. After all, top talent likely won’t accept an employment offer without these basic features in place; they know their worth, and you should, too. But money isn’t everything when it comes to incentivizing and engaging employees, nor is paid time off. So, what is?

To put it plainly: Money can’t make up for poor company culture or a lack of employee appreciation. It’s not fun to work in an old stingy place or for someone who doesn’t have a company culture. Companies today need motivating factors beyond regular paycheck to attract and retain their best employees.
