Attrition Inside HR Department

Hi All,
I am working in a 300 size company and the HR personnel headcount was 4-5. Here we are facing issues because of high attrition in the HR department itself.
Can you suggest any solution/s which help us to reduce this??

Hello Ginu,
Being in HR yourself, I guess you realize & understand the value & importance of giving the FULL & COMPLETE picture for any solution to emerge for ANY problem....no pun intended pl.
For starters, pl give details of:
1] Has any effort been made internally within the company [before posting this in CiteHR] to identify the causes for the attrition--if Yes, pl give details. If No, any specific reasons for lack of effort in this direction?
2] Even though you ave focused vis-a-vis the HR Dept, how's the attrition in Non-HR Depts? How does this figure compare between Depts?
3] What is the Sector your company belongs to--IT, Telecom, etc?

Hi Ginu,
You could look at the specific activities performed by the members in your HR department. If the role definition for everybody is the same then that could be an issue as all are chasing the few activities and stepping over each other's toes. Within HR you could identify specific responsibilities like Recruitment, employee engagement, training, payroll & benefits, employee feedback and depending on the workload you can assign a member one or two of these activities.
Good Luck.

Hi Ginu,
As I can see that everyone is talking to monitor the number and reasons of attrition. I would agree to Mr Basant that Monitoring and recording attrition is very important for businesses. You can easily keep a record of people who leave your business but how easily does your HR software system allow you to work out attrition information so that you can spot trends and patterns that may be having a detrimental impact on your organisation.
There are many different questions that can be answered if your HR system can produce the statistics, including:
- How many people left
- How many people left in particular departments
- What was the reason for leaving
- Do new starters leave more often than longer serving employees
- Do particular recruitment sources impact on leavers?
A good HR software system will provide you with answers to these questions effectively

Apply the Six Sigma process and you will resovle the issue with satisfaction to all.
