My colleague was surprised that a percentage of that was retained by the companies involved. I thought he was around long enough not to be surprised by such matters but there we go. I thought 10% was a bit small but how and ever. There is the issue of the demographics of those 500 staff. The witness outlined that people within a certain age cohort cannot be retained because they do two years and are gone. I presume those out of college are included.
