IMO I think that employers could put more value into productive workers and offer them more in the way of health insurance, 401k, and wellness. What about you?

It's more than the extrinsic that matters, or money. Although, that's nice with bonuses, 401K, healthcare, raises, etc.
But, my opinion, with a tad of research, is that it takes many elements to create employee satisfaction. This includes: 1. recognition for work well done and years of service
2. training through college courses, graduate courses, semininars and conferences
3. career development and mentoring - let an organization develop a pool of leaders from their current motivated employee population
4. remove job stress and increase job security
5. work-home flexibility (let ppl telecomute, work different hours, work sharing where 2 people work one job)
6. communication!
7. teamwork and cooperation
8. proper skill utilization - if someone in one dept can help a person in another dept, let them.
I could go on and on...but those are the biggies to me.

Too many companies these days are focused on the bottom line and don't reward employees for their hard work. Cutting holidays and benefits does not make workers happy; if anything, it frustrates them. However, companies need to realize that training employees for new tasks will reward both the company and the employee. It would be nice, too, if companies held an occasional party or barbeque just to say thanks for the efforts of all.

Absolutely. Going to work should prove to be more than a job, it should be a career. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that values all that you have mentioned. In addition, yearly performance bonuses and cost of living raises are nice as well

get rid of all the ones that are lazy and play around while the other's are working there butts off and keep hiring until you find the right person for that position where i work the 2 others i work with are always talking and taking their time while i always have to finish up and it bothers me that no one else see's it , hopefully the supervisor will wake up .

You have to interact with you coworkers and pick the parts of your job that you like best.
