I believe that if a company treats their employees with respect (automatically give them cost-of-living raises without them having to ask for it, for example) and like humans instead of cogs in a machine, keep them intellectually challenged and fulfilled, and give them a sense of meaning and purpose, then they're likely to stay much longer. If you're doing that then they're giving your customers the same attention. So maybe you have a thriving business that employees will stay at for their entire career.

Contrasting that with my experience I can name one company in 30 years that did that. As is so often the case in our society, everybody is doing it backwards and wondering why everything is broken.
