From the Paper:
"Employee retention is a serious concern for the modern organization. In the past, employers had no need to focus on retention; workers competed for scarce employment resources.

Savvy employers respond to the problem of employee retention by creating corporate cultures where employees are valued and empowered.Employers are devising strategies to retain employees because of the high cost of losing them.

This estimate is based on an analysis of potential customer retention costs..:
