Gayle,
Good point, Gayle. It also impacts the morale of the group with many resenting the person who left because of the need to redistribute the workload, usually with no additional compensation. As you say, it is disruptive and continue to be disruptive until the new hire is integrated into the group. Between recruiting and allowing for the learning curve to work through, it can take up to six months for the productivity to return to normal levels.
