Nice work , if you can get it ! Take Zappos as another example , a US online business that started selling shoes who now sells pretty much everything , has a policy in place that pays new staff who don ’ t want to stay and adopt the Zappos culture , up to US $ 3000 to leave . But the rewards to those that stay are measured in happiness , a great culture and an innovative environment — not just bonuses . Makes sense ( and dollars !)
