Attrition is rooted in bad communications or bad social fit. If life were only so simple. The desire to have problems stated in ways that will respond to broad programs appears to be embedded in the minds and hearts of corporate America.

From a manager or owner's perspective, an employment relationship is a series of investments. It goes beyond paychecks and covers learning curves, emotional involvement, facilities, the provision of work to do and the concern for keeping the work plate full.

In search of challenge, security and a social network, workers often look for more than a company can provide.
