When do employees leave?
The fairy tale rise of the Indian IT industry brought with it the unpleasant reality of rising employee turnover. A combination of too many jobs, too few qualified candidates and unrealistic employee expectations, made the jobs of HR professionals and management teams difficult. If unaddressed, employee turnover can not only hamper growth but significantly impact the ability of businesses to stay competitive.
Professor Vishnuprasad Nagadevara and Professor Vasanthi Srinivasan of IIMB, set out to address this problem by understanding the influence of employee motivations and building prediction models for turnover. Models, that are reliable when tested against real data, can help organizations better understand employee behavior and improve HR policies to enhance retention.
