    As a supervisor, I feel very strongly that employees need to feel ownership in their jobs -- along with a level of authority and decision making ability. Employees that feel like they have a stake in what they are doing typically feel more satisfied and happier in their jobs. Listen to them. Let them try out new ideas. People want to feel like they have value and that they are respected. Maybe to start the ball rolling on this, take each one out to lunch - separately - and find out what they are looking for in their jobs, suggestions they have, etc. Make it informal so they feel comfortable talking to you. REALLY LISTEN to what they say. Even if its not important to you, it is to them. Even if you don't implement their ideas, just the fact that you've considered it and were willing to listen goes along way. Also bounce ideas off of them.
