- Raise this issue with the people who decide the pools and pay . The team did everything possible , if not addressed properly , one should not expect them to go above and beyond the norm. - Communicating to the team that you tried, is not good enough, because that is the least that is expected of you as the mananger ( if sounds rude, i am sorry , not the intention). Potential Solution : Making a case to the higher ups , showing them that retaining the great team is cheaper than hiring some one else over a period of 2 to 5 years would be helpful. Show them the impact on delivery of features,etc. if this did not work, ask why so that , it does not repeat again or you can set expectations saying , this is what you get for what you are paying. I am assuming , there is no equity involved in these discussions. Equity will change the whole dynamics of this discussion. Potential Solution # 2: The rewards need not always be monetary. If you can replace that , with something they want , say sponsoring their Apple WWDC trip or DisneyLand tickets or something , in a way that is not a HR nightmare, would be something to explore. That being said, it is tricky and will not work always. Cheers. |
