An employer may have some options to deter an employee from leaving the organization and joining a competitor, but it's important to note that these options are not always legal or enforceable. Here are a few possibilities:
1) Reminding the employee of their non-compete clause: The employer may remind the employee of the non-compete clause in their employment agreement and the potential legal consequences of violating it.
2) Offering a counter-offer: The employer may try to retain the employee by offering them a counter-offer, such as a raise, promotion, or other incentives.
3) Seeking an injunction: In some cases, the employer may seek an injunction from the court to prevent the employee from working for a competitor.
4) Damages: If the employee does leave and join a competitor, the employer may seek damages for any losses suffered as a result of the employee's actions.
It's important to note that non-compete clauses are generally not enforceable under the laws of many countries and courts may not enforce such agreements that are overly restrictive in scope or duration, or if they are not reasonable with respect to the circumstances under which they have been implemented. An employer should consult with legal counsel before taking any action to enforce a non-compete clause.

My opinion:
Do the employee left was in such a position to create threat to your organization, if so in what way, is it measurable etc., shall be looked into.
A routine clause in an appointment order will not be help much, unless such position affects your fortunes.
Just look.

Hi Pooja,
I can offer some general strategies that employers might use to deter employees from leaving and joining a competitor, even with a non-compete clause in place. Keep in mind that the effectiveness and legality of these measures can vary by jurisdiction, and it's important for employers to consult with legal counsel for advice specific to their situation.
Enforce the Non-Compete Clause: Employers can pursue legal action to enforce the non-compete clause, seeking injunctions or damages from the departing employee.
Offer Financial Incentives: Employers may offer financial incentives, such as bonuses, stock options, or retention bonuses, to encourage employees to stay.
Negotiate a Non-Compete Buyout: Employers might negotiate a buyout of the non-compete agreement with the departing employee, essentially paying them a sum of money in exchange for waiving their non-compete restrictions.
Provide Career Development Opportunities: Offering opportunities for skill development, career advancement, or special projects can make employees less likely to consider leaving.
Improve Working Conditions: Addressing issues related to workload, workplace culture, or other concerns can help improve employee satisfaction and reduce turnover.
Implement a Garden Leave Policy: This is a practice where the employee is paid their regular salary while serving out the non-compete period without actually working. It's designed to prevent an employee from joining a competitor immediately.
Strengthen Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements: Employers can ensure that all employees are bound by strong confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements to protect sensitive information.
Provide Unique Benefits: Offering benefits like specialized training, access to proprietary technology, or unique perks can make employees more hesitant to leave.
Enhance Job Security: Providing assurances about job security in the face of economic uncertainties or industry shifts can make an employee think twice about leaving.
Cultivate a Positive Company Culture: A healthy work environment, where employees feel valued and engaged, can be a strong factor in retaining talent.
Monitor Compliance and Enforce Agreements Vigilantly: Actively monitoring employee activities and swiftly taking action in the event of non-compliance with the non-compete clause can deter others from attempting the same.
Consider Arbitration or Mediation: In some cases, employers may opt for alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration or mediation rather than pursuing litigation.
It's crucial to note that the legality and enforce-ability of these strategies can vary widely depending on local laws and the specific circumstances of each case. Therefore, it's always advisable for employers to consult with legal professionals who are familiar with employment laws in their jurisdiction.
