Top staff leaves the organization to establish same business, his former workplace fails. Why?

[Min George]

I have seen this happen over and over again. When staff of an organization leaves the organization to open the same business within the same vicinity, their former workplace starts declining.

How can that be prevented in a business organization?

It is just a result of the customers being loyal to the staff than the business organization. That's the danger of allowing a customer to be too powerful in the business running.

I think the best way to prevent this is to ensure that your customers don't get too attached to a particular staff.

That means the staff has a lot of loyal customers which have trust in him/her.

The person might have seen the lapses and believe he or she can correct that if the business is handled by him or her

 

[Min George]

This is a common occurrence in businesses in my country. Don't just allow any staff to stay in a position for too long in your company.

The customers had a very strong relationship with the staff. And would always emotionally follow that staff.

When employees leave and start similar businesses nearby, organizations risk losing clients. To prevent this, focus on employee satisfaction, career growth, and fair benefits. Implement non compete agreements where legal, and maintain strong customer relationships. A loyal staff and solid brand reputation create a competitive edge, ensuring the business continues thriving even if former employees enter the same market.
