Over the years I have learned that money is not the main reason people will take a new job or leave their current job. It is way down on the list. It is the job of the hiring manager, human resources or executive recruiter to find the reason or issue that will motivate a candidate. If you want to influence a persons decision to stay with your company or to bring them to a new company you must focus on showing people that they are trusted, valued and vital to the success of the company. Too much reliance on money will eventually lose its luster and you will lose the employee.
