Bus/Financial - Human Resources
English term or phrase: shrinkage
What about OCP training, attrition, absenteeism – what do we call this in the hiring plan Shrinkage?

context: a team manager has to plan the number of employees needed to take a certain volume of calls (in a call center).
I don't quite understand the meaning of shrinkage here : des pertes ?

Thanks for your help!
