As a manager, you want your employees to remain for 4 plus years. It takes 6 months for them to get up to speed, another year to become fully integrated and really, in terms of ROI, years 2-4 are the time you get the best value. How do you get folks to stay, if it's not pay, create a great culture. Make the work enjoyable, thank your employees on a regular basis, get to know them as a person. Another recommendation is to create a culture of mentoring. Ask your senior engineers to take the junior and entry level engineer under their wing. Your senior level team "gives back" and it helps team bonding..
