I strongly disagree. The most valuable thing a company can do is provide good compensation (which may or may not include perks). What the author suggests is also important but hardly the most important.

It is the dominant reason people join companies. Perhaps the author just assumed this to be understood? Seems that she is speaking more to what makes a 'motivated' employee - mastery, autonomy, and purpose - according to author Dan Pink.
