Morphology
antiattrition + measure
The phrase is directly analyzable as anti- (against/preventing) + attrition (loss or turnover of staff) + measure (an action or policy), so the meaning 'a measure to prevent employee turnover' follows predictably from the parts. The anti- prefix and noun composition are productive in English and have clear cross-linguistic parallels, making the sense inferable to a learner who knows the constituent elements.
Etymology
Antiattrition measure puts together anti meaning 'against' and attrition meaning 'slow loss'. Imagine a leaky bucket losing water; an antiattrition measure patches the holes so the water, the staff, stays, so it means a way to 'keep employees' or 'stop people leaving'.
