Understanding Attrition Rate

The attrition rate is a crucial metric for human resource management that measures the rate at which employees leave an organization over a specific period of time. It's calculated by dividing the number of former employees by the total number of employees and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

A low attrition rate (typically below 5%) suggests that employees are generally satisfied with their jobs and the organization is effective at retaining talent. Moderate rates (5-15%) indicate potential areas for improvement, while high rates (15-25%) suggest significant retention problems that require immediate attention. Very high rates (above 25%) may indicate serious organizational issues that could threaten the company's ability to function effectively.
