What is Attrition? Meaning.

Attrition is a Human Resources Management term that describes the rate at which a workforce is gradually reduced due to employees leaving a firm through normal means such as retirement, resignation and death. Contrary to forced labor reductions (firing, mass layoffs).

To avoid employee disengagement, companies typically use a number of mechanisms:

Increase the Organizational Commitment of employees
Set clear objectives. Compare: Management by Objectives
Match employees well with their job. Compare: Employability
Give employees opportunities to reach their full potential. Compare: Employee Development
Give employees room, power and discretion to accomplishing their goals. Compare: Empowerment of Employees
Assign meaningful work to employees
Inform employees well about relevant matters
Listen to employees
Establish healthy work environment

It can be also used to indicate the action of not filling openings created by voluntary resignation and normal retirements.
