The owner is concerned that the company is growing so fast that the collegial atmosphere is disappearing. Turnover has been just around the industry average (35%) and lately, turnover among new hires is increasing more than the overall average.

The owner senses the need for a professionally designed benefits and retirement savings plan. Funds are available but not unlimited. The expectation of going public puts pressure on the firm to look responsible and conservative to potential investors. However, the owner wants to maintain the corporate culture that made the company successful.

No formal indirect compensation plan or retirement savings plan currently exists. Instead, employees are hired based on market rates and the benefits package has been based on government sponsored benefits only.
