Thanks JD and Santunes for your suggestions on managing retention. I appreciate your thoughts.

The main reason for this post, though, is the shift bid process that I have to manage. Limiting the number of shiftbids to twice a year solves the frequency issue, but it creates other problems. I have to backfill new or vacated schedules, and if I offer these to my new employees my existing reps complain that they did not get a shot at these schedules, which are often better than the ones that they have been assigned to.

Choloe, since you are doing minibids in your site, can you let me know if you have any problems with reps missing out on 'good' schedules that are offered to the new recruits?

I appreciate your advice!

Tteamer, I'll give you a call, I'm glad for any input.
