52% of exiting employees say their manager or organization could have done something to prevent them from leaving. However, in most cases, managers only learn an employee is at risk once they put in their notice. People analytics can predict flight risk before it's too late. By analyzing factors like time since the last promotion, compensation ratio, and engagement scores, algorithms can calculate a "flight risk score" for each employee. Managers can then proactively engage high-risk employees to understand their concerns and re-recruit them. The key is to act quickly, as research shows: ⏰ 80% of employees decide to leave 90 days before resigning Don't wait until it's too late. Arm your managers with predictive insights to retain top talent. What data points would be most predictive of flight risk in your organization? 🚨🔮 #PeopleAnalytics #EmployeeExperience #EX #CAlleoEX

A Perspective of A Young Professional. A recent dialogue with the CHRO of a rising startup shed light on the evolving priorities of today’s fresh graduates when choosing an employer. A budding HR professional provided key insights that reflect a shift in what young workers value: First Contact: The first interaction with a potential employer is crucial. It sets the tone, showing whether the company is welcoming and patient, and if it values understanding and nurturing new talent. Researching the Company: Young professionals thoroughly investigate potential employers, focusing on the longevity of the founders, managers, and peers. This reflects the company’s culture and stability, which are vital for those seeking long-term opportunities. Workplace Logistics and Safety: Practicalities like commute distance and workplace safety are significant. Accessibility and a secure environment are essential for maintaining work-life balance and well-being. Understanding Personal Space and Time: Corporates in India must recognize the growing importance of personal space and time for young professionals. This generation places a high value on work-life balance and seeks employers who respect and support their need for personal time and space. I believe these observations was an eye opener for me as it underscores the need for companies to align their practices with the expectations of the young workforce, focusing on transparency, cultural fit, and respect for personal boundaries to attract and retain top talent.
