Attrition is the process of reducing the workforce by not replacing employees who leave the organization due to natural attrition such as retirement, resignation or death. This approach is less disruptive than other methods such as downsizing or layoffs and allows for a more natural reduction in the workforce. It is often a preferred method for organizations that want to reduce their human resources surplus more gradually without creating a negative impact on morale or productivity.
