There are many different reasons that can keep a person in their workplace. Some believe that
money is the main reason. To what extent do you agree with this statement?
People have different views on how to keep employees’ loyalty to a company or organization. While some people believe that money is the most important factor to keep their employees in their workplace, I believe that there are other equally important factors.
On the one hand, I accept that money plays a fairly significant role in people’s choosing of a career. Having a decent income, people can provide their family with a better living standard. For example, they could afford a big house, send their children to private school and even travel overseas frequently. Thus, it is understandable why some people give high priority to the number on their paycheck when choosing a job.
However, I would say that money is not the only thing that is linked to job satisfaction. To begin with, a satisfactory working environment is a contributing factor leading to employees' loyalty. For example, Google, the rising star in the information technology, is famous of its comfortable, free and homy office environment. There are even fitness rooms and bars in their office where employees can enjoy and relax during work. This definitely contribute to keeping its employees' loyalty. Furthermore, some people also put priority on job security and stability. For instance, in China, many young graduates are dying to find a position in the government, even if it is not well paid. The reason behind this phenomenon is that these positions are very stable. As Chinese government rarely fires employees, once a person gets a job in the government, he gets a job for life.
To conclude, from my point of view, a good salary is important to keep employees’ loyalty, but it is not the only consideration in people’s choosing of a job. A good working environment and job security are also important factors to keep an employee in their workplace.
