Staff attrition, driven by various factors such as retirements, resignations, and workforce restructuring, significantly affects both business operations and technical capabilities. When experienced employees leave, they take with them critical knowledge and skills accumulated over years. This loss can lead to disrupted workflows, increased operational costs, and delayed project deliveries. Our guide delves into these challenges, offering insights into the complexities of attrition and its profound impact on organizational knowledge.
