The article goes discuss what employees really want from their employers. We automatically assume the factors are lavish perks - shorter workweeks, bigger bonuses, which is what is typically used by various companies to attract workers. Companies recruiting long-termemployees, however, might want to look beyond using the carrot-and-stick approach to recruit and retain talent.

The top 3 factors that are more important than compensation are:

**4. Training and Development**  
**5. Recognition
