Attrition literally means the reduction in the workforces' strength of an organization as a result of the employee's voluntary or involuntary decisions. An increase in the attrition percentage of a company indicates the low satisfaction of the employees. Thus, its measurement is essential to monitor and take appropriate actions to reduce the percentage.
Attrition generally happens because of the lack of proper management and improper working conditions. In these cases the employee turnovers may happen but it can also be because of the employee’s personal reasons such as leaving to another city, getting a better job elsewhere etc.
Attrition rate = Number of attritions / Average number of employees * 100 Where the number of attritions is the number of employees left.
