Well, it's a reason as good as any other to start paying good salaries AND good raises, instead of just the former. And don't skim on the benefits. As a general rule, treat your employees fairly (which includes updating their salaries up to market value, as often as needed) and, lo and behold, they will stay. There is a lot of talk about changing jobs because of a lack of challenge, wanting to try new technologies, etc., but 99% of the time, it's about money (and benefits). Admittedly, this idea might not be very well received by most companies.
