Compensation and Retention

Compensation and Retention

“A long-term, key employee gets a highly attractive offer from a competitor. They now feel underpaid and unappreciated for so many years and are resentful because of it. You make them a counter-offer and feel resentful that they haven’t been loyal. What might you have done to prevent this unfortunate scenario and have a win-win instead?”
