Description
In the nuclear industry attrition due to retirement used to be a major issue because nuclear power plants typically had stable workforce, all or most of whom joined during the commissioning phase, and thus they often have similar retirement dates.

Especially in countries with new build projects and more job opportunities, employees change are both interested in internal job rotation and change employers easily. This results in increased need for recruitment and job induction and knowledge transfer.
