Attrition refers to employees leaving their jobs through retirement, resignation or transfer. When employees leave, it results in recruitment costs, training costs, lost productivity, and lost sales. Common reasons for attrition include lack of competitive pay, poor working conditions, inflexible schedules, lack of respect, few supportive colleagues, insufficient coaching or feedback, and imbalance between work and personal life. Organizations can curb high attrition by improving communication, supporting employees, managing growth properly, training leaders, and treating employees well.
