Re: Member Turnover Issues
The stronger your mentor force is, the easier it is to overcome this problem (both engineers and others). The chief problem being brain drain, it helps to have someone around who is always capable of passing down knowledge gained over the years for a longer period of time.

I tried to implement an engineering notebook last year to pass on my design resources, but largely the project failed. It is key to have new members who are enthusiastic, or all efforts in trying to retain your performance can fail when you lose your seniors.
