A company can check attrition by the following:

1. Exit Interviews Feedback: We can look at the feedback received from the employees and come to know the specific reasons the employees feel why they are leaving.

2. Management: Employing better management techniques rather than coming hard at employees to get results leads to a more motivated workforce and hence lower attrition.

3. Benchmarking Compensation: We should try benchmarking the compensation with organizations which have similar strategy ( Cost leader or differentiator)

4. Transparent Communication: Employees leave the organization due to rumors of layoffs or other things, so it is imperative that transparent information flow is maintained between management and employees.

5. Good Work Environment : Bad working environment in terms of basic amenities can lead to attrition specially among the staff level employees.
