Oh look it's the usual suspects
10 crappy management gimmicks would be a better title.
Given the salary is reasonable for the market, concentrate on these two.

Autonomy not having a wholly technical decisions taken out of our hands. It's say some time per week to work on projects you or your team believe will show benefit. It's a free week where despite beam counter missgivings, we get to iron out irritating bugs, refactor bad routines, try a new tech, innovate something.

The other human given that just fits in with IT psyche is mastery. That's not simply being trained or training, it's using that training, and for something real.

Without the above everything else, including pay rises and bonuses is wasted.

Well Tony you could leave, and get a payrise, a new challenge, maybe just maybe get a bit of autonomy, may be use some of your skills doing interesting things.

But here you can choose what color shirt you can wear to a training course of stuff we aren't going to let you use!

ooh lets see, let me think, that's a toughy.

Google say Danny Pink on motivation and look up human givens.

This is dated crap thought up by people who dont have clue one about IT people.
