In many companies, there comes a time when an employee who has served for the good of the company for a long time decides to change the type of activity or finds another, more profitable offer, probably from competitors.
It is not worth making such an employee a potential enemy or breaking all contacts with him, such a person can still play a service not only in human relations, but can also help in promoting the business. The favorite human factor plays here.
Even after leaving, no one can predetermine how the employee's business will go in the new company. There are absolutely no guarantees that he will stay to work there, for two reasons: he could have been promised conditions that, in fact, are not met, the employee himself may not be satisfied with the new employer. Then there is an opportunity to get a valuable shot back to your service.
If the employee in the new place is doing well, then you can always ask how he is doing. This is best done in an informal setting. Then, during the conversation, he can share important information that can help rebuild his work on time and benefit. How does an old Russian proverb sound like: "forewarned is forearmed."
Another alternative option that may happen in the future is the cooperation of several companies into one large holding. Then such a worker can become an ally and partner. In the presence of normal human relations, it will be much easier to create something completely new with such a person and make cooperation as fruitful as possible.
Business is a predictable process, but even the most experienced analysts cannot always predict the coming changes. Therefore, you need to be prepared for anything, it can be a high rise and a very painful fall, but maintaining friendly or just good relations will play a role in any case. Also, a former employee who got a new job will always be able to recommend another employee, a professional in his field, to replace him.
