Hi freinds, Cud you’ll help me with the meaning of TURNOVER and ATTRITION. Do they both mean the same? If no, what differentiates them? Regards Dheeraj

Attrition - The no. / rate at which people leave an organisation (decline in workforce)
Turnover - Defined as a change in the workforce due to accessions, quits, discharges, and layoffs.
The difference being that attrition is a function of a declining workforce, whereas turnover is the function of a stable or expanding workforce.
The general measure of turnover is a percentage, derived from the number of separations divided by the total number of workers on the payroll.
Ex.: 10,000 employees left a workforce of 5,000
10,000/5000 = 10/5 = 2/1 = 200%
