As a manager I still struggle how to motivate people. There are very few people who just work because they would like to achieve something. The rest of people are using all kinds of excuses to just sit around and do nothing or go for easy wins which are flawed many way instead of putting in the effort to do things right.

Share the rewards as proportionally as you share the work.

- 100% wfh

- flexitime

- good salary

- more time off than the law enables (we live in the EU so this is not a small thing)

I mean seriously what else?

Either you hired bad people or what you offer isn't all that abnormal in the marketplace (ie. you can be replaced fairly easily). Your bosses receive a larger proportion of the rewards of any particular initiative and they are considerably more motivated, that isn't a strange coincidence. Be prepared to move some of those rewards down the chain and watch the magic happen.
