Shrinkage & Attrition Calculation: A Comparative Analysis & Formulas in Practice










Shrinkage is a term that is broadly defined as the percentage of time that scheduled agents are not available to handle customer interactions. Conceptually, it’s the time that “shrinks” from the schedule. Shrinkage can encompass planned events, such as breaks, paid time off, training, team meetings, coaching sessions, or other activities. It can also include unplanned events such as absenteeism, tardiness or agent attrition. It may also include time lost when agents do not adhere to their planned schedule. This is the percent of time that agents are not where they are scheduled to be or not doing the activity they were scheduled to do. For example, if an agent is supposed to be handling calls but instead is unavailable, they are out of schedule adherence.

Shrinkage has two types:

One is Planned, It means people have informed you prior that they won’t come to office today which you know before.

Second is unplanned, means simple people with sudden leave.

Let’s assume

Team Total =20
Planned Leave is 2
Unplanned Leave is 4

Planned Formula is =2/20=0.1
Unplanned Formula is =4/20=0.2

Total: 0.3 if you put percentage you will get 30% for the day

both add together will be the shrinkage = 30%

Attrition is a component of contact centre shrinkage. It is the rate at which the agent workforce is reduced through voluntary (resignation, transfer, promotion, job abandonment, etc.) or involuntary (termination, disability, sick leave, layoff, etc.) events. There is a clear distinction between the two. Shrinkage erodes the percentage of time agents spend productively handling customer interactions, but it is a variable that can be managed, to some degree, by making real-time adjustments to schedules and issuing reminders so that agents are more aware of the need to change their activities. Attrition, on the other hand, reduces the actual number of agents who are available to be scheduled. Given the considerable amount of time required to recruit, hire, train and on-board agents, attrition can have a more significant and costly impact on the contact centre. 

As with many other contact centre metrics, the formulas for calculating shrinkage and attrition vary. To come up with a formula, you must begin by determining what is included or excluded from the calculation. Then you must define what you are attempting to quantify. For attrition, this may be annual attrition, monthly attrition, rolling attrition based on a period of months, attrition for a particular subset of agents, etc.

Some common formulas for calculating attrition are:

Net Agent Attrition rate: Total number of agent exits/total employees * 100
Actual Agent Attrition rate: Total number of involuntary exits/ total employees * 100
Annual Attrition rate = (Total number of agent exits/average number of agents during the period) * (12/number of months in the period)

Attrition means

People who resigned from the Concern or Abscond without
informing the reporting.

Formula: No of Attrition/ (Opening of the month + Closing
of the month)/2*100

Let’s assume,

Opening -20
Closing -16 

=4/(20+16)/2/100 = 5.5% is attrition

Shrinkage rates are used to help determine the number of excess staff needed to ensure that the actual number of agents required to meet service level objectives are actually in place. This is formula is difficult to develop, given the number of variables that can be factored into shrinkage calculations: adherence, absenteeism, occupancy/utilization rates, etc. There is also more than one approach for calculating shrinkage, based on either a linear or inverse formula. To determine a formula for shrinkage, you will need to start by defining which variables to include in the calculation and then determine how much time is associated with each variable. All workforce management solutions calculate shrinkage so that it can be taken into account when creating agent schedules.

  14. The Changing Work and Learning Landscape

    The traditional nine-to-five office setup is no longer the norm. Remote work and online learning have become more common, driven by technological advancements and shifting attitudes towards work-life balance. These changes indicate a need to reconsider more accurate and efficient methods of tracking attendance, regardless of where people are working. Thus, Virtual Attendance Recording and Remote Work with Normalize Recording Attendance is increasingly prevalent today.


    Benefits of Recording Attendance from Anywhere

    Enhanced flexibility for remote and hybrid work models: Allowing employees to log their attendance from any location helps companies adjust to different schedules and manage remote or hybrid work setups more smoothly.
    Enhanced employee satisfaction and work-life balance: Flexible attendance Management makes it easier for employees to manage their time more effectively, leading to greater satisfaction and a healthier work-life balance. They are able to maintain a healthier balance between work and leisure activities, leading to improved physical and mental health.
    Accurate Payroll: Employee attendance records are crucial for ensuring accurate payroll management. Using advanced attendance tracking software ensures precise record-keeping, leading to streamlined and error-free payroll processes. These software systems contain sophisticated algorithms and integration capabilities that can gather data easily from different sources like biometric devices, mobile apps, or online timesheets.
    Environmental Impact: Transitioning to an online system reduces environmental impact by minimizing paper usage and resource consumption. This conserves resources like water and energy that would otherwise be used in the production, transportation, and disposal of paper-based materials.
    Security: These systems often come with security features to protect attendance data and enable Secure Attendance Solutions. This ensures that attendance records remain confidential and are only accessible to authorized personnel.
