Abstract

This study centered on employee attrition and organizational sustainability. High employee attrition rates may threaten endeavors to accomplish organizational objectives. In addition, when an organization loses a key employee, the effects on innovation, consistency in rendering service to customers and promptly delivery of services to customers may be negatively affected. Exploratory research design was used for the study. It was found that voluntary attrition has a significant influence on staff age of organisation. Hence, affecting oranisational sustainability, it was also found that external attrition was as a result of lack of proper treatment of employees, inadequate pay and unfair promotion, which when given adequate attention will change employee mindset, thereby yielding the expected result and staying permanently with the organisation. It was concluded that employees appreciates a situation where they have mix staff age to balance creativity and experience, employee training is given optimum importance, business location is well accessible and employee mindset is opened to making the organisation achieve sustainability and it was recommended that organisations should ensure that they are giving adequate increment and meeting industry standards regardless of their own growth because organizations grow only when they have sufficient skilled employees in their line of business and cultural fit should be a part of hiring strategy so that they can be aligned with organizations goals and belief.
