013: Staff Motivation – Culture, Cash or Caring
This week on Beers, Blokes and Business the discussion centres around what motivates staff, how to motivate staff and what rewards work best to maintain a productive and happy workforce. We also tackle the issue of the whether or not up-skilling employees with a view to letting them move on to different roles is a good or bad business practice.
