They stay (and join in the first place) because they experience something real, consistent, and clear: culture.

Culture isn’t ping pong tables, free snacks, or summer Fridays. It’s how people treat each other, how decisions are made, and what gets rewarded. If you want to attract and keep strong talent, you need a culture that actually means something – and it starts with defining your core values.
