According to me the number factor is: Respect.

- As an employee we must treat every other employee with the same amount of respect that we expect to receive from others.

Be Contended & God fearing . Patience will give you happiness by itself if employer is behind you as your spine & work --colleagues are for you as one hand . And Management and seniors as the second hand . Your feet will move only front ways to success - what people call in this material world .

The role of co-workers in employee happiness continues to grow along with the need for increased transparency.

Employee happiness is more dependent on co-workers than direct managers. Employee happiness is23.3% more correlated to connections with co-workers than direct supervisors. There is a very strong correlation between employee happiness and their rating of co-workers with a .92 correlation coefficient compared to a .74 correlation coefficient between employee happiness and how they rate their direct supervisor.

many time tangible (cash) rewards plays a key role in retention strategy implementation from mid mgmt to bottom level, on other hand non-cash rewards role importance can't be ignore like, flexibility b.w. shift duties, appreciation and recognition in public, birthday n work anniversary celebration, co-workers behaviors, recreational activities (e.g. weekend picnic n parties, theater and sports events), labour staff family care policy (e.g. supplementary medical support) etc
