Allow them to put their family first and maintain a healthy work life balance and they will put up with a lot. Anything you can do on top of that as far as pay (not necessarily top tier but not insulting) and autonomy/ability to contribute and be recognized will help. The company and position also needs to be stable. There is an army out there of intelligent, qualified individuals ho just don’t care that much about work. You likely won’t be able to keep people who are highly ambitious long term without constantly sweetening the pot which usually isn’t tenable. Find the right people, treat them with respect and allow work to not be the most important thing in their lives and they will be with you for a very long time.
