There are many ways to keep employees happy and make them not want to leave, and this means not only paying them more. 
Three things are seen as of the utmost important to employees. Keeping good relationships with coworkers is a must.  If relationships are good, things happen more quickly and the company is more productive as a whole.  Promoting teamwork will make your workers interact with one another and have them form a bond of trust that will extend long after the project is done.  And keeping monotonous tasks to a minimum while always challenging your workers to do great things is crucial to keeping them engaged.  Finally letting your staff have adequate time with their family will make them happier. 
After these three main concerns of employees are addressed, making sure that they do not feel that their job is at risk is an important thing to take into consideration.  Although I said that pay was not the only factor, it certainly is a factor involved.  Nest on there list is how they feel their job makes them look – prestige.
If those who are working for you still are not satisfied with their experience working under their current situation, the problem may stem from the fact that you need to keep your ear out for the unseen issues that may be under the surface.
