ATTRITION PROGRAM
R.A 8551
WHAT IS ATTRITION?
Attritioncan be either voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary attrition occurs
when employees leave on their own. Involuntary attrition, on the other
hand, takes place when the company decides to reduce the workforce by
cutting positions.
Attrition happens for several reasons, including pay, lack of growth, and
poor workplace conditions. The term is also sometimes used to describe
the loss of customers or clients as they mature beyond a product or
company's target market without being replaced by a younger generation.
Other definition;
Attrition occurs when the workforce dwindles at a company, following a period in which a
number of people retire or resign, and are not replaced.
A reduction in staff due to attrition is often called a hiring freeze and is seen as a less disruptive
way to trim the workforce and reduce payroll than layoffs.
Attrition can also refer to a company losing its customer base, often as a result of older
customers aging or moving on and fewer newer customers opting in.
Attrition is different from layoffs, which occur when a company lets people go without replacing
them.
Turnover takes place when people leave their jobs voluntarily or involuntarily within a short
span of time and are generally replaced with new talent.
