With growth returning, attrition is on the rise. IMA India’s October 2021 Attrition
Benchmarking Study reveals that overall, cross-industry attrition in FY22 is back at pre-

The contents of this paper are based on IMA’s FY22 Attrition Benchmarking Study, which assesses
trends in attrition, by function, level of management and gender across companies. Multiple organisations across a
wide gamut of industries and of varying size and ownership participated in a survey on these issues in October
2021. The report presents data in highly segmented formats to enable both high-level trend analysis as well as fine peer
comparisons. The report is available for purchase from IMA’s offices or online at this link.
