Fifty years ago, an employee could reasonably expect to stay with a single employer from high school graduation to retirement. The global marketplace has changed and few, if any, workers have this sort of job security. Managers must find ways to engage and retain good workers.

They want recognition from their leaders and they want to have a stake in the decision-making process.

As a result, it is very imperative for a manager to utilize financial motivation or non-financial motivation to its employees to keep his or her business alive.
