Good read if you are working in management for a major company with the ability of bargaining power. In my position I can’t give raises or extra time off, but it still touched on some good pointers in regards to providing a fun work environment that provides retention. Not super helpful if you are working in the non profit sector and depend on grant funding to operate.
