We're in a new millennium and work relations are one of the most quickly changing elements of our culture. People are finding it more and more difficult to manage professional staffs. The workforce that was firmly under your thumb a little while ago is now slipping out of control.
Incentives can help solve a lot of these problems. It used to be that people felt tremendous loyalty to their companies. They'd stay for years. Now, with movement common and perfectly acceptable, loyalty is low.
People see themselves as free agents-more and more resembling independent contractors.

What all these changes mean is that your staffs' focus on their jobs is changing. However, one thing has not changed.
- People are still driven by certain basic needs and interests.
- People still respond to being given something of value.
- People still respond to recognition.
- People still get excited about getting gifts.
