A shared sense of purpose and belonging will go a long way in team-building a group to stay together.  Talk to everyone individually to find out what makes them "tick."  Then set group goals and have everyone do their part working together.  Shared hardship makes friends, look at the army: everyone hates it when they're in, but will never forget their friends after they're out.

Thanks Mr Saulauddin !

Stick to your team , motivate and provide support what ever you find it useful.

I loved the expression of Mr Michael " Shared hardship makes friends" that has a big sence specially if you as the manager you share the burden with them.

Polyvalence policy may strongly apaise this common phenomenon.

Explore the reasons for the high attrition some of which may be :

 - Poor compensation.

 - Job insecurity.

 - Poor work environment, long working hours & fringe benefits.

 - Lack of support & motivation or ill-treatment from team leaders.

 - Poaching by competitors to meet the increasing demand on account of growth or expansion.

 High attrition may be on account of one or a combination of these reasons. Try to come out with solutions to the best of your ability & authority.

If you want to gain control over staff turnover, here are a few tips:

1.       first, you need to identify your core needs;

2.       second, you need to be aware of external market conditions that impact your employees’ desire to stay put;

3.       third, you should be doing all you can to make a career in your team a popular choice;

4.       fourth, put in place a structured framework for on-boarding, that supports positive engagement;

5.       and fifth, if all else fails … offer employees a position within the wider business.
