Abstract

Any company wishing to survive in today's fiercely competitive markets must make the best use of its human resources: well‐motivated employees are a crucial asset.

How can such persons be managed so that they fulfil their promise, to the mutual benefit of themselves and their employers? The following checklist covers ten key points.
