Course Description
Among all of the business domains, HR is still the least disrupted. However, the latest developments in data collection and analysis tools and technologies allow for data driven decision-making in all dimensions, including HR. This course will provide a solid basis for dealing with employee data and developing a predictive model to analyze employee turnover.

Introduction to HR Analytics
FreeIn this chapter you will learn about the problems addressed by HR analytics, as well as will explore a sample HR dataset that will further be analyzed. You will describe and visualize some of the key variables, transform and manipulate the dataset to make it ready for analytics.
-
Evaluating the turnover prediction model
Here, you will learn how to evaluate a model and understand how "good" it is. You will compare different trees to choose the best among them.
-
Predicting employee turnover
This chapter introduces one of the most popular classification techniques: the Decision Tree. You will use it to develop an algorithm that predicts employee turnover.
-
Choosing the best turnover prediction model
In this final chapter, you will learn how to use cross-validation to avoid overfitting the training data. You will also learn how to know which features are impactful, and which are negligible. Finally, you will use these newly acquired skills to build a better performing Decision Tree!
