KEEP YOUR HIGH PERFORMERS THRU COACHING

Provide Coaching:
By working one-on-one with employees in a coaching relationship, leaders can discover and tap the talents of individuals and direct their development, align their behaviors and skills, thus becoming active as agents of change, enhancing the success of the organization.
MY THOUGHTS
i hope that's clear - you send your high performers to training that will make them even better - high performers appreciate that. the reason they are high performers is that they keep on learning.
but your job of making high performers stay with you should not stop with sending them to a seminar or a workshop. as a manager, your description will always include coaching - a one-on-one activity which kind of personalizes your attempts to develop an employee. sounds tough! but not really. coaching is as easy as answering questions, guiding your staff on something new, showing them how things are done. it means being there for them when they need your help. and learning when to back off.
