Good answers given by Divyesh, and Socrates, I echo with them..

THE AN EMPLOYER  MUST  UNDER GO THE  STANDARD TRAINING PROCEDURE  FIRST, FOR THEY JOB DESCRIPTION

First employer MUST understand well his / her team all over the company per each section , in order to know how or choose the way , meaning that some can work by just a thanks word for the effort and others needs financial and others needs title , finally any employer also MUST apply the policy of ((  Reward and Punishment )) in order to let all the employe all over the company know for sure as long you work hard and achive your goals but even think how add value in your section As much you will receive back from the company, Wihtout any recommendation or relative relations which may effect all over the company.

Well, this the challenge that any employer would face - 'keep their employees motivated'..  Motivate the employees and give room for innovations..  I have written a bit about this in my blog - http://jobysays.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/motivation-when-and-how/

There are many other things than money or promotions to keep the people creative. Freedom is one thing which I believe in.. and again be one among them..  The principle is so simple.. a company can grow only if the employees contribute. employee contributions will be superb once they become creative.. That brings in the value addition to any organization..

Pairing with creative employees

By providing opportunity to be creative / innovative . Being creative requires time , thinking and most importantly to an extent ability to risk something by doing it in a different way than how it is being done. One cannot never expect a different result  by doing things exactly the same way. An employer should understand the importance of innovation/creative thinking and provide adequate resource to the talent to ensure there is creative work. 

Failures are inevitable and employers should acknowledge that "Successfull failures" are to be encouraged and they too carry valuable lesson while being creative. 

Simply by being a good leader. This includes:

- Motivation

- Support

- Acknowledge their success

- Advice them 

- Reward them on their results

- Show interest in what they do/ did

- Respect them

Be a leader with vision first also concern their sugguestion.

Satisfaction and Motivation are major elements. Just satisfy your employees and make them creative. 

Now the problem is that how to satisfy them ?

It's depends upon the interest of employees.
