IBM
● IBM was founded in 1928

● IBM India Private Limited is the Indian subsidiary of IBM. It

has facilities in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneshwar,
Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kochi,
Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida, Pune and Visakhapatnam

● Total no. of employees: 1,40,000

● Between 2003 and 2007, IBM's headcount in India has grown

by almost 800%, from 9,000 in 2003 to nearly 74,000 in 2007

Justification of the Project

● Attrition is important to understand because it can decrease labor costs without

incorporating staff departures. As employees retire, the company can perform what is
called a hiring freeze. It means that when employees start to retire, the company doesn't
replace them

● Therefore, we decided to study Attrition using various independent variables like age,
gender, job roles, business travel, job level, overtime, etc

● We incorporated various tests like: Independent Sample T test, Chi Square Test and
ANOVA, etc

 Recommendations
● Distance from home affects attrition, but it is indicative from the data that as the distance from
home increases, the attrition rate is decreasing, and the monthly income is increasing. Therefore,
income is a more significant factor, and hence salary levels must be ensured appropriately to
maintain satisfaction amongst even the employees who reside far from the office.

● Since attrition is being affected by the current years with the managers as well, it’s important to
maintain fair treatment by supervisors. Hence training should be provided to supervisors and
managers to develop effective relationships with their subordinates. To effectively measure their
supervisory abilities, and to encourage them to focus on retention is to measure the retention
among their teams. This metric can be incorporated into the company’s evaluation and reward
system.

18
● Since, individuals who are rating environment satisfaction as 1 are 2.6 times more
likely to leave the organization, by involving experienced organization insiders as role
models, mentors and by providing the new hires with positive feedback may
discourage turnover by keeping employees engaged and increasing their involvement
with the organization.

● Since business travel is a major factor affecting attrition, it should be ensured that the
job responsibilities requiring traveling should be distributed evenly amongst the team.
