Part 1184 : When Money is not useful

Payment(Money) is nothing. In many situations.

Let us say that you are trying to get benefits from others. When you are trying to employ somebody, this is what you are doing.

As a compensation, you are offering money. This is good, but not enough.

Remember the Money Attitude. To highlight:

Assume you have unlimited money. You need services. Only if somebody offers the service, your money can buy it. If nobody is offering the specific service, your money cannot help. You simply cannot avail of the service. Period.

Now you long for someone to offer that particular service you want. In the capitalistic society, somebody somewhere always offer the services we need. So no problem.

But each service comes with conditions attached. For example, it may be that the services cannot be offered in your geographical area. You may have to travel a long distance to avail of the service. And right now, you may not be in a position to do so.

It means- You cannot avail of the service. In spite of your money. In spite of the fact that the service is available.

And the pleasure of your life is dependent on these things.

So remember. Money is important. But it is not everything.

Employees nowadays are not satisfied with a good salary alone. They need a little more reason to put in their whole-hearted effort. For dedicated, superior performance.

As an employer, what MORE can you offer? A little kindness? Job security? Comfortable, secure, workplace? A sense of belonging? Some ego satisfaction? Some dignity? Some compliment and recognition? Some self-esteem?

Many business persons make the mistake of thinking that they are doing enough by providing salary. And they keep complaining, that the staff is not up to their expectations.
