To mphil7: I won't give you any specific names of companies that do this, but I will say that it is EXTREMELY (as opposed to another poster's "very") common. I've worked in HR for a total of 11 companies, and consulted with another 50 more, and they ALL do this. Also, government employers do it as well. If you want specific company names, just pick any company that has at least 500 employees (smaller companies do it too, but slightly less frequently). If you want to talk to these companies about it, you should know ahead of time that they probably won't want to discuss the process with you - while not "top secret" it's not something they want their employees exposed to any more than absolutely necessary. The best people to talk to about this would be senior-level finance people as they're usually the ones who control the process.

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?
