What is Attrition Percentage. If Opening headcount is 100 and attrition percentage is 5%, then does it mean that 5 employees left the job?
Attrition rate = Number of Employees resigned / (Number of employees in an org. + number of employees joined - number of employees resigned) * 100.
Is this formula correct? Can someone clarify my doubt, please? It's very urgent.

Dear Santosh,
The attrition percentage can be calculated by considering the average number of employees leaving the organization month on month with the average employee strength for the same period. For example, in April - Employee strength is 100, and 5 employees leave, resulting in a 5% attrition rate. In May, the employee strength is 106. The average strength is calculated as (100+106)/2 = 103, and the number of employees leaving is 3. The average attrition is then calculated as (5+3)/2 = 4. The attrition rate is 4/103 = 3.8%.
Likewise, calculate this month on month to arrive at the attrition rate.
