lets them work on stuff that excites them.

if that is not possible, then hire folks who are excited.

if not possible, pay them more (money, benefits, office recreation etc.. ).

if that doesn't work, then remove 'voluntarily' from the question

Or at least let them work using new and exciting technologies which they might want to learn (if suitable for the project). But still, I think more money will work better.
