It is certainly worthwhile taking a few moments to apply some systems thinking to any clear pattern of employee turnover within your company. It could well be that it is the system itself that is driving turnover.
For instance some firms are set up so that at certain points there are very few opportunities for promotion, so the natural movement is out. This should not be a problem so long as the organisation recognises and adapts to this pattern. Expected turnover is far less damaging than the sudden announcement that an employee is leaving in a few weeks.
