Employee Turnover Concerns
Employee turnover is a significant concern for businesses globally with its costly and disruptive nature to business operations. For a business to remain innovative and competitive, retaining top talent is crucial – so how does a business do that?
Challenges in Predicting Retention
How do you predict someone is going to leave before it happens? Fortune telling it might have been called 10 years ago, but with the power of data today, it’s an achievable outcome for businesses. Previous challenges in identifying influences on retention, uncovering and understanding hidden patterns in data and of course accounting for unmeasurable outcomes like intrinsic factors leave a gap in the ‘how’ for predicting retention.
AI in HR
Advancements in AI have allowed for new possibilities in all areas of business, including HR. Machine learning algorithms, like those in our RetainTalent platform can analyse complex datasets to identify even the most subtle of patterns to make predictions.
