staff retention and the office interior

Retention of staff is one of the major factors in business success. It's also a significant cost to lose people....the cost of a new recruit to replace an established person can be an extra 70% of salary on top of the actual wages paid. Offices have a role to play in retention....both in practical terms and attitude. Also, satisfaction with work is heavily dependent upon relationship with direct colleagues...and these relationships are influenced by office layout.
