Abstract
Introduction/Background: The presence of experienced and skilled team is an asset for any industry to have, none more than the hospital. The cost and effort involved in hiring and training new employees is a not just a serious investment, but also a liability. In this study, we have analyzed the attrition rate of a multispecialty hospital quantitatively. Purpose: As attrition is a serious concern for any hospital, it is necessary to find possible solutions to not just solve the problem but also to mitigate it. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study conducted in a multispecialty hospital. The data was collected on a 5- point Likert type agreement-disagreement scale. Cronbach`s alpha was used to assess the reliability of the data. Results & discussion/Findings &interpretation: Overall Cronbach`s $\alpha$ for instrument was 0.962 which showed high reliability of the instrument. Major reasons for employee attrition were Supervisor behavior (28.67%), Salary Issues (15.3%), Lack of Coordination (18.67%). Research implications: The results presented in this study would serve as a useful resource for the hospital management to consider and potentially address the issue even before they start to occur. Novelty/Originality: This is an original research done for studying the reasons of employee attrition in hospital.
