Hello!
Thank u so much for replyn to my query.
I'm doing my project at Le Meredien.
This is a gist & d main facts of what i've read so far...
" The Hotel Industry apart from being a lucrative one & full of glamour is one such Industry where d Compensation Packages are too low, the work timings are difficult to manage & creates a problem for d employees to mantain a balance between their personal & work life.
Moreover the cut- throat Competition in this Sector is an add-on to the problem of Attrition.
Poaching(attracting skilled & expereinced empoyees from other hotels towards their own orgs) is one such practice which has been observed on a huge scale.
The problem of Attrition is generally found in d level 3-4 comprising of employees from d House keeping, Front office staff, etc & not on d Managerial Level.
The Recession in a way has proved to be a blessing for the Hotel Industry to prevent the problem of Attriton"
The Aim of my project is "To understand the problem of Attrition in the Hotel Industry focusing at Le Meredien" (I'm still to finalise the wordings for the Aim of the Project.)
The objectives:-
1. To understand the scenario of Attrition.
2. To understand the Causes of Attrition.
3. To analyse the Causes & Interpret th Findings.
4. To suggest suitable Recommendations.
I would be undertaking this study with the help of the Exit Interview Forms & a Personal Interview Technique with a sample of roughly 20. My research does not consist of any Hypotheses. I hope that this matter has given you a rough idea about what I've understood so far.
Thank You once again!

If the population is small sample should be 75% of the total population. I think your sample size is very small it may not effective

Hello Sonia,
I am no expert HR person. I suggest that you scan the web for exit interview + questionnaire and select suitable questions. I am sure when you do a " content analysis" of the exit interviews, you will get a feel for the reasons given by the respondents. Based on that analysis you should devise questions for indepth survey.
May I please know what is the size of the population under consideration.
Best wishes
