Doing your job well is important.

But that isn’t what is going to keep you at a job.

Additional factors found are: enabling work employees enjoy, help them play to their strengths, and carve a path for career development that accommodates personal priorities are.

These are ingredients that when combined produce dazzling, and sometimes jaw dropping, scenarios. Think high skilled employees working long hours at a startup with a salary that’s paying half of what they are worth.
