High Engagement: Low Attrition – A Myth or a Reality

Note: The information contained in this document is privileged and confidential. This document must not be used for any other purpose without the prior consent of PeopleStrong HR Services.

In today’s context High engagement does not lead to low attrition. So it’s a
choice that everyone needs to make fast, is whether to live in this myth or walk in the reality.


It does not take a bad event to happen, to trigger the initial thoughts of change in an employee's mind. The Push – Pull factors are becoming more of the drivers of attrition in this new economy of India. Both internal and external circle of influence needs to be managed. Understanding and mapping to industry benchmark will become more and more important in managing attrition. It is important to have a study across industries to understand the various business dynamics that are impacting attrition. This will be able to bring about an industry benchmark for employee attrition.

1.0 Context:
a) Exit is about non‐partisan – It will increasingly be seen as an outsourcing proposition

It is an unbiased exit feedback from the third party
HR face challenge with the bandwidth to manage & maintain the process
Increasing challenge for the leaver to share information in a transparent manner internally to HR

b) Different folks – different strokes ‐ Understanding leaver's will be another important step to create an impact for the organization. It is essential to identify and bucket leaver's into similar categories and address them separately. Ideally there can be segmentation for Early leaver's, Top performers and General leaver's which needs to be looked at differently.

2.0 Exit process:
Handling leavers is another critical factor.
There is a prominent challenge in getting connected with the leaver. Thinking beyond face‐face
interaction will get us there. It is a myth that it is only the powerful way to interact, what is
important is reaching them faster and the way they are comfortable. So reach at:

Leavers' Time —› Leaver's Space —› Leaver's Mode

Using e‐forms, web based mechanism, telephonic conversations with a 24/7 approach is the need of the hour.

"In case of PeopleStrong we conduct on an average 1 exit interview per hour"

3.0 Post –Exit:
Getting to the root and not showing symptoms
Analytics needs to be meaningful and should be able to address to the core issues to the smallest unit possible. Measuring the temperature to be 30° or 30.5° degrees will give a same inference that the weather is warm. So the analysis need to get to the root causes and not evaluate symptoms. Actionable drawn from the root causes will see the true impact.

4.0 Impact:
Will Exit analytics alone control attrition?
No, this is not a shot in the arm. This has to be seen in the light of Recruitment process, Dipstick survey and Engagement initiatives to gain significant impact.
The impact of an efficient Exit management will lead in –

Developing a Predictive Retention Modeling
Employee Experience Score
Mapping to Industry Benchmarks
Building Alumni

With the war for talent on, Build Alumni will emerge as another talent pool for organizations in future. This provides ready‐to‐operate people with complete know how and awareness of the organization, job and reduces the learning curve drastically as compared to the new hire. It becomes evident to create a rehire pool from the past leaver's.

"In case of PeopleStrong clients ‐ a rehire pool to the tune of 47% of the exit's created from 10,000 exits across 7 industries"
