Never make a counter-offer to an employee who has a competing offer.

This guidance is the first in a series of what to do when one of your directs resigns. The majority of the guidance will be irrespective of the reasons for the resignation. We will cover special cases when they depart from the general guidance.

But it is a hot button issue for many managers who feel they are trapped between the competing needs of "keeping" someone and salary administration.

Counter-offers aren't a smart move for all kinds of reasons. Here's what to do and why.
