I'm reading at article I saw posted:
http://gigaom.com/collaboration/5-ways-to-keep-your-rockstar-employees-happy/
And they wrote:
"Yet earlier this year, when Google interviewed its employees about what they valued most at work, none of these extravagant benefits made the top of the list. Neither did salary. Instead, employees cited access to “even-keeled bosses who made time for one-on-one meetings, who helped people puzzle through problems by asking questions, not dictating answers, and who took an interest in employees’ lives and careers.”

My question is, How do we convince the people that have held one or two jobs since graduating that they don't need more money? They are the ones that have had a first success, and are now far too expensive relative to their experience to hire. Do we hire them at the high salary, with silly benefits and just take that as the cost to hire, Knowing that that the benefits won't keep people engaged, it will just get their attention in the first place?
