Aaron,
Suggest you review the admonishions of Fredrick Herzberg (Herzeberg on
Motivation, Industry Week Press). The items you mention are hygiene
factors which must be non-negative but are not what will differentiate a
company from its competitors. The motivational factors are more like (in
descending order) Learning Environment, Being with Winners, Worthwhile
impact on Customers, Respect for the Individual, etc. This is not to say
that all candidates will want this set but you will find that all
candidates you would like to have will want this set.
And remember that each hire that works out costs the company $20K to $40K
while each hire that turns out to be a bad decision costs the company $75K
to $200K. So while becoming an Employer of Choice sharpen your selection
mechanism because you will attract a lot of chaff.
Good luck,
