Why Would They Want To Leave? -
Most employees cite "money" as their reason for leaving. In some cases this is true. However, we know that money is a satisfier, not a motivator. As long as an employee receives what they consider adequate compensation, more money won't buy more production. And lack of more money won't drive them away. Many departing employees use money as their excuse for leaving because it is a "safe" answer.
How Can I Keep The Good Ones? -
People stay with something until the pain of staying exceeds the expected pain of leaving. Most people who are really good at something have a low 'pain of leaving' because they know they can find something else. The trick to keeping them is to minimize the 'pain of staying'.
The factors that add to the 'pain of staying' are well documented. People who are under appreciated or unchallenged won't stay around long.
