Most people would assume that companies and organizations know how they can make jobs and workplaces attractive and keep their staff motivated.

The focus for employees is very different from what employers think it is. For example, salary protection is what candidates want most, but it has a much lower priority for employers. In conclusion, both have the same expectations, but the priorities are different.
