And When Your Talent Does Leave…

Previously, we wrote about how to retain your top young talent.  However, the reality is that employees will sometimes leave no matter what, and unfortunately the best people are hard to retain.

However, it is absolutely worth staying in touch!  If you manage the relationships with your past employees effectively, they are likely to become your best advocates, or perhaps even your clients or business partners.

Consider forming a company “alumni” group.  Consider these alumni your company’s ambassadors.  Keep the group informed of company progress, send them openings, and assure them they are always welcome to reapply.    Past employees who return are likely to be more loyal!
