Ask HN: How to Deal with Multiple Resignations? Last month our company president in the US announced that the electronics manufacturing department in Australia (former head office) will be made redundant and production is moving to the US. The R&D team of 8 electronics and software engineers in AU has been assured that their jobs are safe but 3 have already resigned. The US has a small engineering team but have plans to hire 4 more engineers. What should we do to boost morale and prevent further resignations? Promise a bonus if they stay for 12 months? Immediate salary increases? Expedite hiring replacements for the engineers who resigned? Invest in professional development training courses for the remaining engineers? |
