>From the companies standpoint, based on my experience with some really great ones, their policies were generally:
- above industry standard salaries and benefits - year-end bonus based on company performance (with some minimum) - annual reviews that objectively assess the individual's overall value to the company, taking into account contributions that don't necessarily come to fruition in a years' time. Example: employee designs a great logo or contributes to the company in other big picture ways. Beyond money are perks, tele-commuting being one that means more then money to me. Specifics depend on the individual. For office workers, there are improvements to the working environment, which should be as casual as it is exciting, that can boost moral a lot. Things like free coffee, a kitchen, etc. are nice touches. Because this requires a profitable environment, they let go the least-contributors each year (by ranking employees and chopping the bottom 'x' percent). Look at it as doing them a favor because they don't belong in this particular job and will be better suited for something else.
