Many managers worry about how to retain top talent without breaking the bank. The good news is that even with the most sought after top talent, research shows non-monetary rewards can be more appealing than high salaries. Here are three things you can provide that often rank equal to or higher than compensation:

-
Focus on recognition. The best people want to feel appreciated for their hard work. Whether in a private email or a public venue, acknowledge your peoples' good work.
- Develop a culture that values results, not just face time. Set the example: Take time out during the day to go to the gym or see your child perform in a play, and encourage employees to do the same.
