There are rather evident benefits to retaining talent. But it is also dependent on the job in which you are retaining the talent for. If it is a rather skilled position, like a CNC machinist or a design engineer, retaining talent for those roles may be more important than other positions that can be easily replaceable. It ensures smooth flow of operations and consistent output within the company. Keeping the individuals motivated would be key to ensure that they have a sense of value in the work they are doing. This is important because if these employees truly are talented then they will have no issue in finding work elsewhere and that could harm your company overall as well.
