Attrition occurs when:

Attrition is defined as the gradual reduction of a workforce by employees who leave voluntarily. This can occur for various reasons, such as retirement, pursuing other job opportunities, or personal decisions. When employees decide to leave an organization on their own, it impacts the organization’s talent pool and can lead to changes in productivity, team dynamics, and resource allocation.

This voluntary departure is important for organizations to monitor, as high levels of attrition may indicate underlying issues such as low job satisfaction, inadequate compensation, or a poor work environment. Understanding attrition helps organizations to implement strategies to improve employee retention and overall workplace culture. The other options discuss different aspects of employee management and behavior that do not directly align with the concept of attrition in the same way.
