How do you keep the employees you can't afford to lose?

"From a company evolution standpoint, we are not 'mature' enough to have a deep enough bench to replace our star pitcher at a moment's notice."

This is excerpted from an email written by the CEO of a small company whose star employee resigned the week before. He goes on to describe the situation as a “two-fisted punch,” an “emotional rollercoaster,” and feeling like he is “smoldering inside.”
 
For a large company, losing a key employee is problematic and expensive.
 
But for the leader of a small company, these same pains and losses can be catastrophic on many levels—personal, emotional, physical and financial.
 
When it comes to employee retention, there is no shortage of advice. Too often it's all the same: “focus on engagement and culture,” or worse, simply “pay them more money.”

While employee engagement, culture and money do factor into retention, they're not enough to truly understand the decision-making process for employees who are thinking "Should I stay or should I go?"

Even if you treat employees well and keep them engaged in a positive culture, you can still be left with no real way to judge the effectiveness of your efforts. Are your most valuable people planning to stay or are they actively thinking about jumping ship? That is a very painful place for a company leader to be.
