The retention corp final bundle is built for Mexican corporates with turnover problems in critical roles —software engineering, strategic sales, plant management, R&D, senior commercial. It's the kit the HR team delivers to the employee who has received a competitor offer or has signalled intent to resign, alongside the retention conversation and the compensation adjustment. The CFDI 4.0 invoice uses CFDI Uso N01 (payroll) when treated as part of the compensation package, or G03 (general expenses) when run as administrative spend.
Turnover in critical roles in Mexico carries a direct cost the corporate knows but does not always size: between 1.5x and 2.5x the annual salary of the departing employee, covering vacancy, recruiting, training and the learning-curve tax. For senior software engineering, commercial management or research roles the cost edges closer to 3x annual salary. Unmanaged turnover erodes the corporate's operating capacity and creates gaps that take 3 to 9 months to close.
The retention corp final bundle works alongside the corporate's existing retention process (compensation, career path, extra day off, cash retention bonus). The kit is the tangible element delivered with the retention offer: curated pieces that signal belonging, recognition and a long-horizon view. Delivery is run by HR or the CEO directly depending on the seniority level and the severity of the turnover risk.
For corporates running multiple legal entities and IMMEX entities with critical staff in the free zone, the kit is delivered at the corporate office or at the employee's home address when remote delivery is needed for discretion. Operations run with absolute discretion: the commercial team and the employee's own team do not learn about the delivery until the CEO or HR lead decides.
The bundle runs in three versions by seniority of the critical role: mid-seniority kit (4 premium pieces), director-level kit (5 high-end pieces) and unique critical position kit (6 premium pieces plus a curated experience). Each kit includes a piece engraved with the employee name and a personal CEO message.

The retention package operation has three discretion layers the corporate needs to understand before the first order. First, fiscal discretion: the CFDI 4.0 invoice describes the expense in administrative terms (length-of-service recognition, complementary compensation, incentives kit) and charges to the budget line HR authorises. The CFDI Uso key depends on the expense destination: N01 when treated as taxable compensation, G03 when run as non-taxable administrative spend for the employee.
Second, operational discretion: delivery is coordinated directly between HR and the CEO or area head, without the employee's team learning about it until it happens. Courier is routed to the corporate office, the employee's home address or any venue the corporate designates, per the client's preference. The kit packaging is neutral (no visible logo) so nothing is signalled in transit.
Third, price discretion: the corporate running a sensitive retention budget prefers the kit not appear as a "high-value gift" in internal communications but as tangible recognition delivered at the right moment. The CFDI 4.0 invoice closes at the end of the calendar month or on delivery, depending on the client's fiscal calendar.
For corporates with employees in the free zone (typically IMMEX entities in Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua or Tamaulipas) delivery syncs with the fiscal year-end and the invoice uses the free-zone key when applicable. Export or temporary-import operations run with the Carta Porte 3.0 complement when the kit crosses the northern border into the employee's US residence.
Pricing in MXN before 16% IVA. The mid-seniority kit starts at $4,800 MXN at MOQ 5 pieces. The director-level kit starts at $9,500 MXN at MOQ 3 pieces. The unique critical position kit starts at $18,500 MXN per kit (MOQ 1 piece).
Production timelines run 15 to 20 business days for fully personalised kits. For urgent retention kits (competitor offer expiring in 7 days) we run express production at 5 to 7 business days with a 35% surcharge. Operations coordinate directly with the client's HR lead and run under absolute discretion.
For corporates with an annual retention programme (typically enterprise groups with 50+ identified critical roles) we operate an annual contract with preferential pricing, base-piece stock for immediate response and a tracking dashboard with turnover KPIs by role. The CFDI 4.0 invoice closes at the end of the calendar month with full deductibility for the client.
