Attrition Analysis displays gains and losses by unit based on which events?

• A. ETS, recruitment, retirement, discharges, transfers & promotions
• B. Promotions only
• C. Deactivations only
• D. Training completions

Answer: (A)

Attrition Analysis focuses on how a unit’s headcount changes by tracking events that add to or remove people from that unit. The events included are end-of-term-of-service, recruitment, retirement, discharges, transfers, and promotions. End-of-term-of-service, retirement, and discharges remove someone from the unit, while recruitment, transfers into the unit, and promotions can bring someone into the unit or move them into a different role within it. By counting these events, you see the net gains or losses for each unit and understand what’s driving the change in staffing. Other events, like training completions, don’t directly change the unit’s headcount in this analysis, so they aren’t part of the gains-and-losses tally.
