The staff loss was mainly in the professional grades and at executive management level. The high attrition rate was attributable to the uncompetitive remuneration structure including failure by the Commission to honor its contractual obligation of timely remittance of wages by the end of the month. The Commission is currently working on retention strategies for its employees.
