Making your employees feel involved and important through communication and teamwork can be just as effective as wages when it comes to motivating and generating loyalty. According to Steven Stamey, Operations Manager at Maxi Auto Service Centers, “once you get everybody singing the same song, the same tune – and they’re interested in winning – it’s amazing what they can accomplish when they just find belief.”
