No compete clauses

[Guest guest]

Is anyone using no compete clauses? If so, have you had any problems with

recruiting, by requiring potential new employees to sign them. I recently

put a great deal of time and money into training someone for a specific new

program. She has now resigned and has opened her own practice in direct

competition to our program. I really focus on developing therapists and I

feel this creates an environment that makes them want to stay, but I don't

want this to backfire on me again. If you do use them, I would like to hear

about any positives or negatives that you have encountered.

Thanks
