Is attrition a curse or a boon?

• In the short term it is a curse for several reasons. It is expensive to lose a trained employee or contractor. It is expensive to find a replacement and train them all over again.
• It is a boon because it is an opportunity to review and re-engineer the job description and the role.

In this day and age, job descriptions are not static, they are dynamic. If you have a union to deal with, its a little different (a lot different actually), but if not, then take advantage of the flexibility to improve the way work is organized.
