Employee Attrition represents significant costs to the organizations. Many organizations neither measure such costs nor have targets or plans to reduce them. Many organizations appear to accept them as a part of the cost of doing business - a sign of increasing job mobility and decreasing staff loyalty perhaps, a matter to be regretted but just "one of those things." They add a sum in their budgets for "temp staff" and "recruitment" and forget about it. It is one of the areas in which HR can make a difference - and one that can be measured in quantifiable, financial terms against targets. Employee Attrition is one of the most critical problems that Indian IT industry faces today. Why an Employee leaves a company is the question asked by most of the employers. From time to time, employee surveys are done to figure out what makes employees to love or hate their employer. Based on these surveys, IT companies (if not all - then at least those who want to retain their employees) take appropriate steps with hope of reducing the attrition. This is an interesting fact that some companies are inherently immune to attrition, whereas some companies fail to control attrition despite desperate efforts. In this paper I have tried to analyze the factors that lead to attrition. (original abstract)
