The surrounding environment is a compelling reason for people to stay where they’re at.
I’m not talking about perks — how great the office is, or where it is, free lunch, ping pong tables. I’m talking about the people and the work itself.
Does the person enjoy the work itself and the people they do it with?
If so, that’s a great incentive to stay and keep going. Enjoying the people doesn’t mean they all agree on everything. In fact, some times it means just the opposite. But the good workers recognize the difference between creative tension that pushes the team forward and petty personality conflicts that keep it stuck in the mud.
How do you provide opportunities for the people to do the best work of their career?
