Attrition rate for high performers

Can anyone advise which of the following is the market practise for calculating the attrition rate for high performers:

 

1. (Number of high performers who left in a year / Number of high performers) * 100

2. (Number of high performers who left in a year / Total number of departures) * 100

Re: Attrition rate for high performers

Hi, i guess if you are looking for the attrition rate specifically for high performers, then the first seems to be more accurate. So, go with this:

Number of high performers who left in a year  *100
Number of high performers in that year

In general, the overall organizational attrition is calculated by the second formula.

Cheers!

We generally calculate the attrition rate by this formula : No of Voluntary Exits / End of Month Headcount * 100%

Hi All,

As per me, Senthil is correct in terms of general calculation of attrition and 1. is correct in terms of specific calculation for high performer attrition.
