Understanding Low Attrition: Why Do Employees Choose to Stay and How Can We Find Out?

How can we determine the reasons behind the low attrition rate in a specific company? Why are employees choosing to stay with the organization? My Managing Director has assigned me this task. Please advise on the approach to take. If conducting a survey is an option, kindly recommend what questions should be included in the questionnaire.

Thank you.

You can include the questionnaires based on the following parameters:

1. Performance Appraisal: Appraisal process, increment process, and promotion criteria.
2. Training and Development
3. Welfare Activities
4. HR Processes
5. HR Policies
6. Company's Culture
7. Company's Code and Conduct
8. Working Environment
9. Technology

The above processes will give you multiple questions which you can add to your questionnaire and will provide you with a clear picture regarding high/low attrition.

Hi Aditi, Is there a specific reason to understand why there is low attrition in the organization? This information will help in designing the survey appropriately.

Reason for Low Attrition

The attrition rate in the company is 6-7%, which is relatively low. They want me to find out what they are doing right that employees are not leaving. Hope that answers your question.

Hi Aditi, quite interesting... First, I have heard of low attrition. One quick guide, though: You could start with yourself as the first respondent (what motivates you to stay in the organization). Kindly share with us the outcome of the survey to allow us to borrow some of the best practices.

Regards,

The factors vary from industry to industry. However, if you examine the history of companies with low attrition rates, you will find that fun activities, continuous skill development, participation in decision-making, and granting authority play significant roles. Additionally, clarity in job roles and work profiles also influences attrition rates.

Regards,

It's nice to hear that in your company, you have low attrition. You can find out more about it through a survey that includes what motivates them. Kindly share the results with us so we can also understand the reasons employees are staying in the organization.

Best of luck!
