ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF EMPLOYEE
ATTRITION
Advantage
Attrition positively benefits organization, this happens whenever a poor performer is
replaced by a more effective employee, and can happen when a senior retirement
allows the promotion or acquisition of fresher’s.
Moderate levels of staff attrition can also help to reduce staff costs in organizations
where business levels are unpredictable in such situations when business is slack it is
straightforward to hold off filling recently created vacancies for some weeks.
If all employees stay in the same organization for a very long time, most of them will
be at the top of their pay scale which will result in excessive manpower costs.
When certain employees leave, whose continuation of service would have negatively
impacted productivity and profitability of the Company, the Company is benefited.
New employees bring new ideas, approaches, abilities & attitudes which can keep the
organization from becoming stagnant.
There are also some people in the organization who have a negative and demoralizing
influence on the work culture and team spirit.
This, in the long-term, is detrimental to organizational health.
Desirable attrition also includes termination of employees with whom the
organization does not want to continue a relationship. It benefits the organization in
the following ways:
3. A Study To Reduce Employee Attrition In It Industries
http://www.iaeme.com/IJMHRM/index.asp 3 editor@iaeme.com
1. It removes bottleneck in the progress of the Company.
2. It creates space for the entry of new talents.
3. It assists in evolving high performance teams
There are people who are not able to balance their performance as per expectations,
lack potential for future or need disciplinary action.
Furthermore, as the rewards are limited, business pressures do not allow the
management to over-reward the performers, but when undesirable employees leave
the Company, the good employees can be given the share that they deserve.
Disadvantage
Talent cost: it includes the cost of lost knowledge, skills and contacts that the person
who is leaving is taking with them out of your door.
Recruitment cost the cost of advertisements; agency costs; employee referral costs;
internet posting costs.
Calculate the cost of the manager who has to understand what work remains, and how
to cover that work until a replacement is found. Cost of the various candidate pre-
employment tests to help assess candidates' skills, abilities, aptitude, attitude, values
and behaviours.
Training cost it includes the cost of orientation in terms of the new person's salary and
the cost of the person who conducts the orientation. It also consists of the training.
calculate the cost of various training materials needed including Company product
manuals, computer or other technology equipment used in the delivery of the training
Motivational cost: it refers to the cost arises because of motivating the other
employees to retain them in the organization in terms of increasing their salary and
time.
Lost productivity costs: as the new employee is learning the new job, the Company
policies and practices, etc. they are not fully productive.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
Primary Objective
To evaluate the factors that influences the employee attrition in IT sector.
Secondary Objectives
To understand the underlying factors that retains the employee in IT sector.
To find the core attributes that focus more on working environment in IT sector.
To analyze the steps taken to reduce attrition in IT sector.
NEED FOR THE STUDY
The success of any IT sector depends largely on the workers, the employees are
considered as the backbone of the organization.
The attrition rate in IT sector is 11.4%. So this study focused on why the Attrition
occurs and the possible ways to reduce it.
The study was mainly undertaken to identify the level of employee’s attitude, the
dissatisfaction factors they face in the organization and for what reason they prefer to
change their job. Once the levels of Employee’s attitude are identified, it would be
possible for the management to take necessary action to reduce attrition level. Since
4. Dr. V. Antony Joe Raja and R. Anbu Ranjith Kumar
http://www.iaeme.com/IJMHRM/index.asp 4 editor@iaeme.com
they are considered as backbone of the Company, their progression will lead to the
success of the Company for the long run.
This study can be helpful in knowing, why the employees prefer to change their job
and which factors make employee dissatisfy.
Since the study is critical issue, it is needed by the organizations in order to assess the
overall interest and the feelings of the employees towards their nature of job and
organization.
This study can be helpful to the management to improve its core weaknesses by the
suggestions and recommendations prescribed in the project.
This study can serve as a basis for measuring the organization’s overall performance
in terms of employee satisfaction.
The need of this study can be recognized when the result of the related study need
suggestions and recommendations to the similar situation.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study on REDCTION OF EMPLOYEE ATTRITION is carried out in IT
SECTOR Chennai for a period of 72 weeks. This study is carried out using
questionnaire which forms basis for data collection the target A sample of 300
employees. The tools used for analysis are
Simple percentage method.
Chi square method.
Correlation coefficient method.
SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The significance of the study lies in the detonation of the IT sector in the recent years.
Where on one hand the sector is growing with leaps and bounds, on the other the
employee turnover has been alarmingly high, thus costing a lot to the company.
The middle level and low level employees are victims of dearth of motivation and
employee satisfaction also seems to be brandishing. The study is an attempt to assess
the patterns of attrition in IT sector and analyze the relationship among employee
motivation, job satisfaction and employee retention, so as to utilize employee
motivation to retain employees in an organization.
Thus, not only is it significant for academicians but also for professionals who
can exploit it to control the employee turnover.
LIMITATIONS
Time constraint - While getting all the questionnaires filled, I faced that most of the
employee’s didn’t want to respond because of the limited time they had. I faced a lot
of problem while convincing them.
Sample size constraint - As the employee base of the organizations was about 1000
and above in each organizations, so it was very difficult to cover all the employees in
this survey. Number of employee covered in this survey is limited to the sample size
of 100 employees only in each organization. This limits the scope of the project study
and the analysis may not represent the whole population.
Duration constraint - The time duration for the project is limited to 72 weeks so it
was difficult to analyze the attrition at micro level.

TOOLS USED FOR ANALYSIS
Simple percentage method
Chi-square method
Correlation & Coefficient method
These are briefly explained, in following:
Simple Percentage Method
Simple Percentage Method refers to special kind of ratio percentage that is used in
marketing for comparison between two or more series of data. Percentages are used to
describe relationship. Since the percentage reduce everything to a common base &
these by allow meaningful comparison to be made.
Chi- Square Method
Chi-square is a statistical test commonly used to compare observed data with data we
would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis. The chi-square test is
always testing what scientists call the null hypothesis, which states that there is no
significant difference between the expected and observed result.
The formula for calculating chi-square (2
) is:
2
= (O-E) 2
/E
Where,
O – Observed frequency
E – Expected frequency
That is, chi-square is the sum of the squared difference between observed (o) and
the expected (e) data (or the deviation, d), divided by the expected data in all possible
categories.
Correlation Coefficient Method
Correlation can be defined as the degree of relationship between two variables. It
needs pairs of points to be available for every set of values of each of the variable. In
a two dimensional plot, the variables can be arbitrarily labelled as X and Y, where X
mostly attains the independent variable, which is used for prediction, and Y attains the
dependent variable, the value which is predicted. The correlation coefficient,
sometimes also called the cross-correlation coefficient. A measure that determines the
degree to which two variable's movements are associated. The correlation coefficient
will vary from -1 to +1. A -1 indicates perfect negative correlation, and +1 indicates
perfect positive correlation.
Formula for simple Correlation coefficient is given below,
If x & y are the two variables of discussion, then correlation coefficient r can be
calculated using the formula

SUGGESTIONS
Opportunity for Growth and Development
Fresh graduates should be provided sufficient amount of training before job is
assigned to them. The individuals should be given job rotation so they can
understand the needs of the organisation and motivate them to make their
work more effectively.
Salary and Benefits
The pay should be given according to their grade, but there should be
increment or hike every year this will motivate the employees to stay and
work for the organisation. The employees should be give add-on benefits that
covers their family as a whole for example insurance cover to the employees
whole family. Monthly medical camps that will make the employee to realise
that how important he is to the organisation.
A Set Schedule.
Giving them the opportunity to choose which days off they want, or at least
giving them two in a row and not working them more than five, would be
extremely beneficial in employee retention.
Job variation.
Employees get burned out on performing the same job every hour of every
day, day in and day out for years, even months. Cross-training should be done,
especially in food service and retail, in order to avoid burnout.
A positive attitude from superiors.
12. Dr. V. Antony Joe Raja and R. Anbu Ranjith Kumar
http://www.iaeme.com/IJMHRM/index.asp 12 editor@iaeme.com
Managers and supervisors should have a positive attitude toward their
employees and never insult, criticize, or berate them.
Proper training for management.
Managers should be trained thoroughly and consistently. The policies from
location to location should be the same, and every manager and supervisor in
the Company should be trained the same way and be in agreement and
consistent with Company policies. Managers should be trained to treat their
employees with respect, because without those employees, the business could
not operate.
General
Opinion surveys, feedback forums, employee suggestion box or employee
suggestion committee and employee satisfaction surveys. Holding meetings
with employees on a regular basis to identify their desires and needs. This will
help them to understand the need and important is their decision to the
organisation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Employee attrition or Turnovers can detrimental effect on an organization and its
employees if Company management allows it. There are a tool to assist in addressing
the causes of turnover is often used as a performance indicator may be preventive
measure should be as well. It is impossible to eliminate turnover altogether therefore
management must learn how to deal with it and the effect it has on a Company. In
addition management should be better prepared to take the proper action after the
turnover event occurs. All effort should be focused on maintaining job satisfaction
and managing controllable caused of turnover.
The list of recommendation to prevent turnover in companies are:
Get involved in finding out the causes of turnover
Bring attention to bottom fig. & how turnover affect everyone
Have an open door policy style of managing to allow employee to comment on what
might be bothering then about the job.
Realize there is more than one problem and pay attention to all stay alert.
Execute periodic audits of job satisfaction.
Have a Strict hiring standard do not just fill opening and.
Develop and constantly update training strategies.
SUMMARY
The study of HR practices and employee attrition in the organization was a great
learning experience. It helped in understanding the intricacies of HR role in an
organization. The study helped in finding out the most critical reasons responsible for
employee attrition in the organization. It brought various concerns of the employees
to the forefront. Apart from the project there was also a lot of on-the-job training
which helped enhance HR skills and gain a better understanding of the functioning of
HR. It was an effective learning in combining the theoretical and practical aspects
relating to project. There has been immense learning in the field of employee
13. A Study To Reduce Employee Attrition In It Industries
http://www.iaeme.com/IJMHRM/index.asp 13 editor@iaeme.com
retention. The basics about attrition and retention, attrition calculation, cost of
attrition, consequences of high attrition rate and reasons for attrition.
The study helped in understanding the relative importance of various factors
responsible for employee attrition, also revealed the fact that that opportunity for
development and growth is most important for the employees of the organization.
There is a crisis in human capital management. We need fundamental reform in order
to address this crisis and ensure long-term ability to hire and manage a high-quality,
high-performing workforce. Most employees are not motivated solely by money.
Historically, firms have used money and financial rewards to retain employees. High
tech employees are enjoying the fastest salary progression of almost any profession,
yet they are changing jobs constantly.
Today’s employees seek more than monetary compensation. Research conducted
in the Company revealed that opportunity for development, salary, job content,
relationship with supervisor are important reasons for employee attrition. The myth
that salary is the most important reason for employee attrition was clarified as
employees are more concerned about opportunity for development. Salary is also
important, salary needs to be competitive with the market rates, and otherwise there is
a high risk of losing your employees to your competitors. I also learned that even
though the salary might be high, an employee would be willing to change job for
better development opportunity.
The IT sector’s can retain employees and reduce attrition rate by dealing with the
two important factors behind attrition, Opportunity for development and growth and
Salary. More focus on employee training and employee recognition is required. Salary
needs to be made more competitive. To retain employees it is important to provide
sufficient opportunities for development and growth, competitive salary, challenging
jobs that use employee skills efficiently and good managerial guidance, among other
things. We are in a time of manpower shortages that will not abate in the near term.
Employers have to work smarter and permit employees to work smarter.
