    None of these answers is correct, it’s simply not a multiple choice question.

    For some the pay is important, others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.

    Everybody has their own needs, the biggest HR loser is the one that fits all employees in the same square.

      others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.

      That is never the answer. If your business isn’t retaining people because the party culture isn’t party enough…you’ve got way bigger problems…and it’s probably leadership.

        As I get older I begin to realize that people love to work.

        However people hate being treated like shit.

        Treating people like shit or building an environment that supports shitty behavior poisons the well and will absolutely make people leave, even for a pay cut.

        If you just respect people and properly value them and their contributions to your organization, you’ll never have trouble keeping them.

      I suppose it depends on the pay raise. If the company is toxic as hell, I might take a pay cut to go elsewhere, but there are very few scenarios where I turn down a pay raise for something like a ping pong table.
