The military deals with this issue through other means, mainly by trying to prevent employees becoming vulnerable in the first place. Living in secure housing with stable costs of living. Retirement planning / pensions. Not allowing people to fall into stupid dept (payday loans etc). And making sure employees feel valued enough that they want to stay with the company.

Corporations would do well to consider these tactics.
