These things have been tried and tested for a long long time. Any business that loses 20k pounds if a staff member leaves isn't run well, I could lose half my people and the others could step in while I get more (not that I would, my people have all been with me at least 10 years) | |

If you want to retain staff better than "the norm", you have to step outside of standard practice and improve upon it. | |

This is a question about the general approach, or as you say the 'norm'. It's not helpful to reframe this as pigeonholing when discussing a general principle. | |
