Typically "regretted attrition" is employee managed. "Unregretted attrition" is employeer managed. Regardless of the cause.


Regretted attrition == The employee left and the employer regrets it (They would have wanted the employee to stay)

Unregretted attrition == The employee left and the employer is glad they did. Good riddance.


I’ve also seen people who were good performers but just difficult to work with that were categorized as non-regrettable.

“Hi boss, I’ve got another offer but wanted to give you a chance to counter” -> “Congrats on your new role, why don’t you go ahead and wrap up by Friday? I’ll skip over to HR and get the paperwork handled for you. Do you need a box for personal belongings?”
