You can retain good employees through helping them to appreciate their mission and to focus their effort on the implementation and achievement of their missions. You are in business to achieve your mission and the employees are working for you in order to achieve their missions. You have to implement a win win formula for both your   organisation and the staff. Both the organisation and staff have   to achieve their missions in life. The tips of retaining good staff include the following;

Payment of a competitive benefits package

You have to pay the employees a package which is above the average salary for the field in your area.  For example if the average salary of an accountant is US$ 100,000 per year then you have to offer a package over the average market salary. Your staff must be among the well paid employees in your sector
