As well, you may want to prevent “brain drain” from the organization.

As anyone who has seen enough turnover can attest, everything cannot be written into procedure that someone else can just pickup, read, and carryon where the last person left off.

Keeping key people on in whatever capacity creates a group of mentors that can more capably train than any on-boarding manual.

The loss of knowledgable team members hurts. It hurts morale, it hurts productivity, it costs money.

Creative ideas that retain talent, so that talent can help shape new team members pays dividends.

Thank you for the article Michael.
