Give real freedom to employee to motivate or quit

We often encounter with a situation after some time of work or even later, that employee could maybe be a good fit for the work if he/she is really motivated. The employee has made his best on the beginning, but now is the time to get a motivated and committed employee. If your employee is from a group of special disadvantages, this practice is more efficient because they often feel a lack of freedom and have potential to be the most committed ones.
