"It will be interesting to watch the manufacturing sector due to 'Make in India' approach by the government, since this industry used to face least attrition but with new projects coming in can take it to the highest attrition affected industry, however, we have to see if it happens this year or in 2016," Goel said.
TeamLease Services Senior General Manager, EMPI, Hussain Tinwala said the buoyant business and hiring sentiments seems to have had a negative impact on the retention levels.
"This has led to a growth in the attrition. The attrition level for previous year was around 5-6 per cent overall, which will go up to 8 per cent this year," he added.
Sectors like PSU sectors, however, will continue to be the lowest in attrition because of their stronger branding. "Candidates from private sector applying for PSU jobs is higher at junior and mid segment. Besides sectors like automobile OEM's, infrastructure, CRO would also witness less attrition due to lack of industry growth," he said.
He added that the high rate of attrition will have an impact on the smooth functioning of the business.
Goel said higher attrition always increases the cost for the organisation in terms of recruitment and training the resources and transitions also creates the leakages of the information and business to the competition.
"It will be a tough time for HR to keep employee motivation and engagement at the highest levels to minimise attrition and at the same time increasing the productivity," he opined.
