How often have you heard someone say: “Oh, I love my job, mainly because I make a lot of money”? Salary is normally not the first thing that comes to mind when engaged employees talk about their jobs. It is rather something along the lines of “great colleagues”, “amazing leadership”, “they’re paying for my further education”, or “awesome culture”, right? Surely a good salary is the basis for every engaged employee and their job satisfaction, but it’s not going to be enough to keep them at your company in the long run. The myth that high salary equals high engagement is only one of many that surround the field of employee engagement and we are going to debunk this one today.
