Beyond Compensation:  
How to Keep Your Best Employees
by Robin Toft 
 
You've gone to the effort and expense to hire top performers for your company-- how do you make sure they will stay with you? According to The Wall Street Journal, a high employee turnover rate can lead to costs of up to two times an employee's salary to find and train a replacement . High turnover rates can also lower a company's knowledge base and decrease performance and morale among the employees who remain.

How do you make sure your top performers stay? Offering attractive compensation and benefits is always a good start, but there are many other strategies for keeping your valuable employees with you.
