Antiattrition

/ˌæntiəˈtrɪʃən/ noun

Definition

Opposition to or counteraction of attrition, which is the wearing away or reduction of something through gradual loss or friction.

Etymology

From 'anti-' (against) + 'attrition,' from Latin 'atterere' (to wear away). This term emerged in military and organizational contexts to describe strategies against gradual loss.

Kelly Says

In business, antiattrition strategies keep employees from slowly leaving over time—companies realized that losing workers gradually is just as damaging as losing them all at once!
