As a business owner you no doubt value the contributions each of your employees makes to your business. However, there are also key individuals who are critical to the continued success of your venture. Losing such a key individual would impact you on a personal as well as business level.
The risk of losing a key skill to your business could be:
- A slowdown in turnover.
- Decline in profitability and/or sales.
- Stricter terms from suppliers.
- Difficulty in raising finance.
- Loss of expertise.
- Delay in finding and the high cost of hiring a successor.
