What issues does it create for a small company if employee seeks H1 transfer?

[smallco_owner]

We are a small company in the US and recently sponsored an employee on H1 who is switching to another employer within the first month. Would like to understand:

1. Is there any recourse available to our company to prevent this?
2. We are in growth mode and might need more people on H1 next year. What impact will it have on our company's future petitions?

1. Is there any recourse available to our company to prevent this?
>>> No. Employment in U.S is at will basis. You can terminate anyone, anytime or they can leave when they wish.

2. We are in growth mode and might need more people on H1 next year. What impact will it have on our company's future petitions?
>>> This will have no impact on your company's future H1B petitions.
