If you ignore this issue long enough, it will go away, right ? WRONG !!!! Kind of like the way this question has been ignored for three weeks in this forum. I've never seen anyone who has this problem ever address this issue-it's simply not their fault ! Blame the employees, barometric pressure, global warming, anything but the root cause-something has to be inherently wrong within the organization to cause a mass exodus of employees. If a dialogue is working between management and the employees, this type of thing can be avoided or remedied. In most cases, retaining good employees probably costs much less than hiring and training new ones. Sometimes, it isn't even money but possibly a situation created by someone or something which makes employment intolerable and undesirable there. I've always practised MBWA and actively solicited input from those who worked for me in order to preclude such events. I know of one place that turned 150 employees in two years, but was most recently at a place that could give that figure a run for its money.
