I would at to Kevin's list two culture-based points: Promote a culture that respects and values well-rounded employees, that recognize they have lives and interests outside the office. Usually called work-life balance. The companies that pried themselves that is is not so much a job as a lifestyle are going to lose. A-players like to work alongside other A-players. Slugs can come cheap, but cost far more on the back end than hiring the all-stars.

Where do we draw the line , when even CEOs are on the job-hop mode! Is is just a live-in model thats currently doing the corporate rounds ? Would love to hear the views of others on this ....
