  5. People will stay with in the organization if they have a reason to. So if the organization want to keep their good people and keep them motivated, it’s worth starting an incentive program. Maybe it’s a quarterly bonus. Maybe it’s a commission structure that’s better than the competition. Maybe it’s offering to foot the bill for additional credentials. Or maybe it’s even profit-sharing in your company. Its worth to read this article. Thanks
