The attrition rate had climbed resulting the drop of motivation of the employees. A number of employees had recently complained about inefficiencies and the lack of organisation in the company. These factors should be investigated closely and thoroughly.

These problems relate to the lack of motivation of staffs, the questionable organisational structure of the company, which are important aspects of a business, and should be solved carefully.
