Why do you suppose the federal government, as an employer, is interested in employee retention? (Select all that apply.)

It is costly to replace an employee; not only does the employer lose productivity but they have to train the replacement employee.

The federal government must maintain a very large bureaucracy to function and they cannot afford losing any employees.

The skills developed on the job grow the longer the employee is in that position, making them a more valuable.

Many federal employees have national security information that cannot be repeated once the employee leaves the position.
