Keeping Your Best and Brightest: Retaining Top Talent
One thing that managers need to recognize and be constantly aware of is that every other player in your market has eyes on your best and brightest employees. You cannot sit passively back and assume that they will automatically stay with your organization. You need plans and strategies to keep your employees engaged, motivated, and loyal to your company. The costs of not doing that could be substantial. Many estimates of the costs of replacing a mid-level employee run up to $50, 000 per employee and for senior and technical positions it could cost over $100,000 to replace them. That factors in the cost of recruiting and hiring new employees and then training and developing them in their new position. It does not cover the cost or lost income that will accrue if a key position is left vacant for any significant amount of time.
