Attrition Rates in BPO Sector

We all know that attrition rates are very high in this sector as compared to others - around 35% in non-voice and 45% in voice-based call
centers. And unfortunately around 60% of the workforce, instead of leaving one call center and joining another, leave BPO industry altogether. The cost of attrition is almost one and a half times the annual salary. The reasons may be:

  • Monotonous work (Feeding numbers into excel sheets, answer similar phone calls, etc)
  • More attractive job offers in terms of profile or pay.
  • Talent is neglected, and employees are unsatisfied with the management, which encourages attrition.
Solution to the problem

  • Hiring mature talent. Many young people do not take work so seriously.
  • Better employee retention schemes should be developed. Cash incentives can be used to satisfy the employees. But money is not the only way to retain employees. Talent must be appreciated. Diplomas and courses for future growth should be offered.
  • Hire candidates who actually need the job. Not the people who are taking up jobs on a temporary basis.
  • Choose appropriate people for night shifts. Shift timing is a major issue for employee attrition.
