Funny this should crop up now when I'm trying to organise
a redesign of our website. We've opted to restrict pictures
to a few key personnel - CEO/director/board member level only.
For us, I don't think putting pictures of everybody is
relevant, or easy to maintain (as you mentioned, keeping up
with staff turnover is tricky).
My opinion only, YMMV. It depends on the size of the site/co, and
on the culture at work. A co with a flat management structure
might be more inclined to emphasise the approachableness (is
that a word?) of all their staff members.
