ABSTRACT

In the pharmaceutical sector, managing skilled manpower has always been a challenge. Recently, however, addressing early attrition has emerged as a key concern. This research aims to uncover the perceptions of employers (specifically recruiters) regarding early attrition among new hires in the pharmaceutical industry across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The study zeroes in on discerning the actual reasons behind entry-level attrition in various pharmaceutical companies, particularly in Telangana. A structured interview questionnaire was employed, targeting approximately 150 HR heads from diverse pharmaceutical firms in both states. With early attrition becoming a ubiquitous issue, fostering employee retention has increasingly become a critical aspect of HR's role in ensuring business continuity. This study endeavours to ascertain whether there is common or differing reasons for early attrition among HR professionals in the pharmaceutical industry within these two states.
