Mayer and Motivation
Marissa Mayer is a strong believer in non – financial incentive.
She believes to motivate her employees to come and work every day, she should
not just provide them with big, fat, pay check but also with non – financial incentives.
In an interview, Mayer stated that “(employees)
want their work to have meaning”. Mayer believes that by having input from
employees, she will be killing two birds with one stone. The first bird being
her employees being motivated because they feel appreciated and the second bird
is having new ideas for the company. That is why she schedules short meeting
with her employees to have a little chat with them.

Not only that, but when
Mayer took over as CEO she implemented 5 new perks of being a Yahoo employee. They
are:

whenever they welcome a new child to the family. This includes birth, adoption,

weeks paid leave after pregnancy.
Daily habits reimbursement: Yahoo
will pick up the bill up to a total of $500 for daily habits like laundry,
house cleaning, groceries, take-out food, and child care when employees bring
home their new child.
