Attrition Rate

Attrition rate refers to the percentage of employees who leave an organization over a defined period, typically measured monthly or annually. It is used to assess workforce stability and identify trends in employee turnover across functions, roles, or locations. The metric includes voluntary and involuntary exits and is often analyzed alongside hiring rates to understand net workforce changes. Monitoring attrition rate helps organizations identify retention challenges, workforce risks, and areas requiring intervention. By analyzing underlying causes, organizations can improve employee experience, strengthen retention strategies, and maintain continuity in operations and talent management.
