Is money the greatest employee motivator?

What would your advice be when it comes to compensating employees? I’ve seen reports saying money isn’t the top motivator, but I know it matters. My company is still small, so I can’t offer bonuses or anything like that yet. How else would you suggest I show my employees that I value their input?

There’s no doubt that money is a great motivator and must be part of the equation. Why else do we work?
