Doing your job well is important.
But that isn’t what is going to keep you at a job.
What’s going to keep you is belief in the companies mission, having a best friend at work, establishing deep connections (defined as a relationship where you feel cared for, comfortable being vulnerable, and able to confide in the other person).
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.
