When you learn that your star employee has a juicy offer in hand from the competition, this makes it all the worse. This represents a very delicate PR situation as the soon-to-be-departed’s colleagues will be watching their employer’s actions carefully:

• Does the business let the employee walk without a re engagement attempt? Doing so could make the company appear aloof and out of touch, which is not a good look.

• On the other hand does the business roll out the red carpet, elevate the soon-to-be-departed to business class terms and conditions to retain them, while the other employees back in economy class look on in disgruntlement?
