As a HR professional in local government, I'm concerned about the relationships that sometimes exists between our elected officials and employees. Some call it "Politicking", others call it "Favoritism", but its really micromanaging and very damaging. Employees do not follow internal chain of command and circumvent management to address issues with elected officials. In my short time here, I've seen the effect this has on employees who are not part of the "loop" and seem to suffer as a result of it. What steps can I take to address this situation and educate the organization.

How Do We Keep Our Best During Upheaval?

Things are getting scary for us. We recently had to downsize, and since then have lost some of our best people to other jobs. Aside from boosting their pay (which isn't feasible now), what practical steps can we take to keep them from quitting on us?
