Facing the reality that we will lose employees is stressful and inconvenient. Weather from voluntary or strategic reasons it will happen, look around at your crew. Who will retire in the next 5 years, decide to try a new career or have to be asked to leave. The numbers are unique to your company for sure. As a shop owner I have faced this problem on more occasions then I care to admit. First keep a line in the water at all times by looking for candidates within and from outside your company.
