What is Attrition?

Attrition happens when employees retire, resign, or simply aren’t replaced.

There are several analyses that could prove helpful when looking at attrition.
Consider these:

• Number of employees leaving before the first service anniversary
• Number of employees leaving before the fifth service anniversary
• Number of employees leaving total
• Number of employees leaving voluntarily (within a job or group)
• Number of employees leaving involuntarily (within a job or group)
