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

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.
