Ford decided to pay them more

Explanation:

In order to offset the extreme dullness of the repetitive tasks that the workers had to complete every single day, Ford decided to pay them more. This bonus in money incentivized the workers on staying with the company and not leaving to find a less boring job. Since other jobs would not pay as much as Ford was paying. Even still Ford would save money by not having to train new workers.
