ATTRITION STUDY RESEARCH REPORT 2019

Fourteen mission agencies originally confirmed intent in participation; eleven agencies ended up providing data. As we built the study, we sought to gain not only data on attrition numbers but also to garner reasoning behind the missionaries’ transition from the organization. When we interacted with the agencies, we discovered a wide range of systems for analyzing attrition. Some had very basic human resource practices for documenting separation, while others had more robust systems to seek information from the field, home office, and the worker on why the transition was taking place. We sought to provide a tool for data collection that would allow those without a system to create one and for those with a more mature data set to be able to transfer information easily.

We want to provide the most up to date, relevant and engaging resources for our community involved in aspects or global mission. If you know if any Resources we can share, please contact us.
