Abstract Most companies would concur that human resources are one of the most—if not the most—valuable assets a company has. And what is the healthcare industry besides a (usually) for-profit company? Oftentimes, however, there is an incongruent dichotomy between healthcare management and its employees, or more properly called its caregivers. Hiring, training, and employment policies may sometimes conflict greatly with the company's (hospital's) bottom line, which is profitability, over the ability to maintain high or even average motivation amongst its workers. This paper seeks to explore at least three ways a rapprochement might be met between upper management successfully handling the bottom line—profit—and exhorting its agents (employees, or caregivers) to keep their motivation high enough to reach maximum levels for both parties. Keywords: Healthcare, motivation, motivational techniques, caregivers, hospital management, motivational methods, motivational analyses, motivational implementation, autonomy, reward, hospital, patient, cognitive development, self-actualization.
