This comment above is absolutely gold and true! An organization can offer the following benefits to employees: Comp(salary, bonus, etc), health Benefits(health, insurance, counselling), autonomy, interesting/challenging work, push you out of your comfort zone, a non-toxic environment, etc.

The key is to recognize the Maslow's hierarchy here as well (hierarchy of benefits, instead of hierarchy of needs). Once you offer someone top comp and top health benefits, you have crossed the hygiene layer. Then you go to the social layer (recognition, awards, non-toxic env) and finally the self-actualization layer (autonomy, pushing them harder, long-term aspirations).

Dont cheap out on the hygiene factors!!

A non-toxic work environment isn’t a “benefit”, it’s a basic requirement. Same for autonomy. Healthcare is just compensation.

In the end, compensation is what matters.

Non toxic environments are rare and are absolutely, 100% a benefit. If you don’t believe this Im genuinely happy that youve had such good experiences.
