I can't remember who said it but I was once told if your employees go on to better things after their stint with your firm - then you have been successful in your approach to train and support them.
I.O.W. do everything you can to encourage your employees to grow and move up the ladder.
I guess that approach may seem too generous for some employers but I've found that there's basically 2 kinds of workers...those who are born to lead and those who are born to follow. No matter how much encouragement you provide as an employer a follower will never leave and a leader will always leave and in the meantime you can help either one to find their calling.
I've done as much as possible to mentor those who have worked for me and with me through the years because I remember when was younger those who provided wisdom and insight were and have always been my personal heroes.
Not sure if that answers your question but for me it's a question of philosophy that some get and some do not.
