You can buy loyalty. Give someone a high paying 3-year contract and they'll probably work to the end of it. But of course HR doesn't want to hear that.

Ours tried to explain to project leaders that employees are not mostly interested in their salary, but in praise. That went over well.

As someone who works for a living: praise is nice, but pay is required.
