Transforming HR with Predictive Analytics

João's technical skills have changed how his organization approaches HR. Recently, he tackled the challenge of employee turnover by putting his DataCamp skills to work.

Using Python and machine learning techniques learned on DataCamp, he developed a predictive model that identifies flight risks before they become apparent. He implemented advanced data manipulation techniques to combine HR metrics, performance data, and engagement surveys. What would have been reactive retention efforts became a proactive strategy that helps HR teams intervene early and effectively.
