Workplace attrition in India is a pressing challenge, affecting employee productivity, brand value, and disrupting business continuity. While the figures vary across industries, an overall average of around 20% of India’s workforce undergoes attrition, representing a significant loss of organisational efficiency. Further complicating this issue is the phenomenon of “quiet quitting,” with an estimated 59% of the global workforce disengaging from their roles without formally resigning.
The evolving concept of a ‘workplace,’ particularly with the rise of the gig economy, adds to these complexities. With the gig economy comprising a substantial portion of India’s workforce, traditional HR strategies for employee retention are becoming less effective. Organizations must rethink their approaches to meet the demands of a dynamic labor market while fostering engagement and development among their workforce.
Understanding Workforce Dropout: Attrition often stems from a combination of factors, including a lack of skill alignment, limited opportunities for career progression, and inadequate support for professional growth. In addition, the rapid transformation of industries creates a gap between the skills employees possess and the competencies employers require. This mismatch causes disengagement and weakens workforce stability and productivity.
