Motivation and employee engagement

This was a quick read about some of the challenges with employee engagement. I know that one of the issues I seemed to always struggle to get others to understand is that there is more to motivating employees than pay. Frequently this seemed to be due to people who are motivated by pay thinking that everyone else is motivated by the same things they are - they just could not get out of the mindset that what they valued was what everyone valued. Interestingly in this article, they briefly touch on the fact that for some employees, just using financial rewards can even be a bit of a disincentive.
