Money: Not The Motivator it Once Was!

[AutoShopOwner]

It has always been my policy to give my people the opportunity to earn a respectable wage. I feel that to attract quality people and to keep them, my company must compensate and reward the people who are producing and contributing to the success of the business. But today, money is not the only motivator with many young people. The demographics have changed. You still need to offer an attractive salary and other monetary benefits, but there are other factors to consider. The up and coming generation may not be as loyal and will look for benefits such as flex time, respect, a quality work environment and a chance to move up the ladder. These new considerations will shape a new perspective on how we hire and what we offer new hires in the future.

Interesting topic. I'd chalk it up to competition. Just like every employer will look for the best employee, every employee should also look for the best employer. Pay is only one factor, like you mentioned.

Support is important as well, alot of these dealership have a "sink or swim" type atmosphere...
