Employee Attrition Prediction Analysis Report
Employee Attrition Prediction Analysis Report
Report
1. Introduction:
Employee attrition is a critical concern for organizations as it can lead to decreased productivity,
loss of institutional knowledge, and increased recruitment costs. Predicting employee attrition
using machine learning techniques can help organizations identify at-risk employees and take
proactive measures to retain them. In this report, we summarize the findings and insights gained
from analyzing the IBM HR Analytics Employee Attrition & Performance dataset.
• Data Exploration: We explored the dataset to understand its structure, features, and
distribution. This involved examining descriptive statistics, checking for missing values,
and visualizing relationships between variables.
Gender Vs Attrition:
Attrition Vs Department:
We experimented with various machine learning algorithms for binary classification, including
Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost, AdaBoost,
Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Gradient Boosting, Neural Network, and Naive
Bayes.
• We evaluated each model's performance using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall,
and F1-score on the test data.
• Optimization techniques like hyperparameter tuning and ensemble methods were applied
to improve model performance.
• Insights were gained into the significance of various features and their impact on
predicting employee attrition.
5. Evaluation Results:
• XGBoost, Random Forest, and AdaBoost emerged as the best-performing models based
on their accuracy and F1-score.
• Neural Network also showed competitive accuracy, but its precision, recall, and F1-score
were not provided for comprehensive evaluation.
• Other models like SVM, Logistic Regression, KNN, Naive Bayes, and Decision Tree
exhibited varying levels of performance, with some models showing poor precision and
recall.
6. Insights Gained:
• Factors such as job satisfaction, work-life balance, and job role were identified as
significant predictors of employee attrition.
• Models like XGBoost, Random Forest, and AdaBoost provided valuable insights into
feature importance and their contributions to predicting attrition.
• Regularly retrain and update predictive models with new data to ensure effectiveness in
capturing evolving trends in attrition.
8. Conclusion:
Predicting employee attrition is a complex but important task for organizations to manage their
workforce effectively. By leveraging machine learning techniques and analyzing relevant factors,
organizations can gain valuable insights into attrition patterns and take proactive steps to reduce
attrition rates, improve employee satisfaction, and enhance overall organizational performance.
