For your high achievers: 1. Make sure they have something meaningful to work on. 2. Treat them like human beings. For everyone else: 1. Give the Employee of the Month a special parking spot. 2. Pep rallies. 3. Company newsletter. 4. The promise of a raise. 5. PTO 6. etc.,etc.,etc.

  In case other people don't recognize "PTO", it stands for "Paid Time Off" (e.g. holidays).

uh...threaten to fire them? We are in a great depression. Why do we keep babysitting people that we pay?

  If you're in a position to fire, you're in a position to have some sort of responsibility for the success of the company. Don't view it as babysitting or coddling; an employee that is motivated and engaged will be more likely to exceed the goals that you set. I don't have any emotional attachment to my employer, but I'm fiercely loyal to the individuals therein that have listened to, respected, and honestly considered my opinions. I feel a personal obligation to ensure that I meet those individuals' expectations.

Pretty easy to motivate employees: 1. Don't be a dick. 2. Pay people at least an average wage. 3. Don't pay one person wayyyy more than an equivalent employee. People talk and get jealous. Plus they could play the whole race/sex/religious/sexual orientation card and sue you for discrimination. 4. Continue to give people feedback when they do a good and poor job. In my opinion constructive reviews that address weaknesses should come right after an employ has received a wage increase, so they will be motivated. 5. Have a fun budget. 30 to 50 dollars an employee per month.
