Hi Sudeesh,
As you have mentioned that you are doing a project on Attrition, it would be nice if you could be more specific. For example - "Employee Attrition in xxxx company" or "Attrition in ITES/BPO industry".
If your study is specific to only a single organization, then your study will be based mainly on secondary data, i.e., through Exit Interview Forms. When an employee is leaving the company, HR conducts an exit interview with that employee and records the data on an exit interview form. You can now go through those details to understand why that employee left the organization. In this case, your objectives can be:
1. To collect the data from the Exit Interview Form.
2. To identify the main reasons (both organizational and personal) which resulted in the resignation of the employees.
3. To suggest and implement various retention schemes.
If the scope of your study relates to any particular industry, for example, "attrition in BPO industry," then your objectives can be:
1. To understand the present level of attrition in the BPO industry.
2. To examine the attrition rates in two different categories - those which can be managed and those which cannot be managed.
3. To understand both job-related and environment-related factors that contribute to employee attrition in the BPO industry.
4. To propose various retention schemes.
