cool.. thanks, i got the impression from your original comment that you are not a run of the mill employer. plus, it sounds like you did a fair bit to manage the risks appropriately for yourself. but i also think employees risk a fair bit in moving to a new job, and in the the success or failure both of the job and the business. particularly if they aren't able to build savings of cash or spent time behind them to start the new step in their career, if something goes wrong. to add to that, they typically have no power in managing the risks of the business, and little power in how their efforts are valued in the job. so, anything you can do to minimise those sorts of risks for employees—like you say, positive work environment and helping further employees' careers—also goes towards reducing their risk/reward profile.. and perhaps some way toward assuaging your doubt about pay?
