Retention of key professionals has become a major challenge for organisations. They spend a tremendous amount of time, effort and cost in evolving retention strategies. To manage the attrition rate, organisations are offering attractive benefits such as Employees Stock Option Policies (ESOPs) to the employees. As cost of interviewing, recruiting, relocating, training and compensating employees rise, the Human Resource managers are impelled to do a better planning job. The costs associated with recruiting and orienting new professional and managerial employees are often astounding when the rates of attrition during the first two years are taken into account.

The Construction industry is a challenging, competitive and rapidly growing industry. Because of urbanization, infrastructural development and people's rising expectations for improved quality of living, construction become the second largest economic activity in India. As a result there is a competition for finding efficient and talented engineers which results in increased rate of Engineers’ attrition. Engineers’ attrition affects the overall efficiency of the organization. It results in loss of productivity, profit, time; resources etc.The sample of study consists of 120 engineers working in various construction organizations in India through questionnaire. The SPSS software was used for data analysis and findings. The purpose of this study is to find out the various reasons for Engineers turnover and to suggest effective retention strategies for Engineers’ retention. This study concludes that pay, Job satisfaction, Increased job opportunities, Lack of growth opportunities, Lack of respect from superiors have a great effect on engineers attrition.

University attrition prevention strategies are typically generic, centrally managed, whole of university strategies that have emerged from an examination of whole of university attrition data. This paper takes an intra‐organisational comparative approach, through the examination of faculty and program attrition rates of students who joined an Australian university in the first term of 2004. The faculty with the highest attrition had a rate two‐and‐a‐half times that of the faculty with the lowest rate, and in programs with 40 or more students enrolled the program with the highest attrition had a rate over five times that of the program with the lowest rate. The paper identifies five practical implications of these findings and concludes that investigating the causes of these differences will help in understanding student attrition. It also suggests that universities wishing to reduce student attrition may benefit from adopting integrated and situated strategies that take into account faculty and program differences.

This education evidence based study examined African American students entering the Practical Nursing program and the strategies of medical mathematics bridge and tutoring programs to reduce attrition.To increase retention in the fundamentals of nursing courses, augmenting the program completion rate. DATA/OBSERVATIONS: Two groups of students (n = 105) participated for this one-year study over three semesters. Data revealed passing rates of 87%-92% for the nursing course and 75%-92% on medical mathematics when consistently attending programs. The attrition rate plummeting to 8% -34% contrasting previous years 43%-65%.Retention intervention programs can have a positive impact on minority students' academic performance.

A large number of students leave engineering majors prior to graduation despite efforts to increase retention rates. To improveretention rates in engineering programs, the reasons why students leave engineering must be determined. In this paper, we reviewthe literature on attrition from engineering programs to identify the breadth of factors that contribute to students’ decisions toleave. Fifty studies on student attrition from engineering programs were included in the primary part of this literature review. Inthe second half of the work, an additional twenty-five studies that focused on methods of increasing student retention, wereexamined. Six broad factors driving students to leave engineering were identified by examining the attrition literature: classroomand academic climate, grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high school preparation, interest andcareer goals, and race and gender. Evidence from the retention studies suggests that successful efforts to increase retention act onone or more of these factors. A clear gap in the literature is that of economics: the costs associated with losing students, and thecosts associated with implementing retention strategies, are virtually unmentioned.

Results of an initial study indicated that the most significant factor affecting retention for Physiotherapists in Northern Ontario was perceived opportunity for career development. A follow-up study was completed two years later to determine: 1) actual job turnover and regional attrition among physiotherapists in Northern Ontario; and 2) the predictive validity of variables identified in the first study regarding job turnover and regional attrition. Job turnover occurred in 29.5% of those sampled and the regional attrition rate was 12%. Discriminant function analysis revealed factors affecting job turnover and regional attrition including professional experience, practice location, opportunity for career development and size of community of residence. Based on previous intention, indicated by participants, follow-up revealed that the initial study correctly predicted 77.5% of those who changed their jobs and 74.1% of those who left Northern Ontario. Identified factors provide direction for the development of strategies for recruitment and retention of physiotherapists.

Abstract: This study was undertaken to find the factors that affect student retention and attrition in the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system in the Punjab region in India. The main objectives of the study were to find out: i) Retention and attrition rate among the learners pursuing graduate and postgraduate programmes; ii) Rate of attrition among the learners pursuing other professional and non-professional programmes; iii) Percentage of retention and attrition among male and female, rural and urban students; iv) Factors that cause the attrition rate among the learners pursuing the professional and non-professional programmes. For the purpose of finding the retention and attrition rate of the learners who had opted to pursue their study through distance mode, the admission data of selected degree programmes from selected districts in Punjab was collected and analyzed. After analysis of the data, it was found that the attrition rate was high among the learners pursuing the non-professional programmes in comparison to those pursuing the professional programmes. The number of dropouts among rural learners was larger in comparison to those of urban students. For uncovering the factors that cause the retention and attrition rate among the distance learners pursuing these programmes, a questionnaire was developed for collecting feedback from the learners of the mentioned districts. It was found that factors like the non-receipt of counselling schedule in time from the learner support centre, writing of the study material in tough language, non-availability of self-instructional material in local language, delay/non-receipt of study material, non-receipt of the evaluated assignments in time, inadequate guidance at the study centre level, and delay in updates of student data on the website are the factors responsible for the high attrition rate among the learners.
