In today’s business world, successful organizations rely on data and intelligent technologies to make informed decisions, especially in human resources (HR), which is crucial for organizational sustainability. Predicting employee turnover using Machine Learning (ML) has become one of the most effective tools to understand employee issues before they escalate and to implement proactive solutions that retain talent.

Aligned with the vision of The Dubai Premier Training Centre to enhance HR professionals’ skills, this course offers a comprehensive curriculum combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Participants learn not only how to use ML algorithms and models but also how to translate predictive insights into strategic decisions that reduce costs, improve employee satisfaction, and foster a stable work environment.

The course equips participants to understand the factors influencing an employee’s decision to leave, such as job satisfaction, leadership quality, work environment, reward policies, growth opportunities, and working hours. Participants are trained in HR data analysis techniques and in building predictive models based on real data, which can be integrated into HRIS systems and interactive dashboards.

Course Objective

  • Understand the root causes of employee turnover and its impact on profitability and competitiveness.

  • Gain advanced knowledge of machine learning applied to HR data.

  • Analyze complex data using effective analytical tools.

  • Prepare and clean data to ensure high-quality inputs for model building.

  • Apply predictive algorithms and evaluate models using precise performance metrics.

  • Identify factors that increase the likelihood of employee departures and high-risk groups.

  • Transform data into actionable insights for management to create retention strategies.

  • Align predictive outputs with organizational strategies and develop sustainable policies.

  • Integrate predictive models into HRIS systems to enable intelligent decisions.

  • Provide professional recommendations to senior management through clear reports and analyses.

Target Audience

  • HR managers seeking scientific solutions to recurring problems.

  • Data analysts entering the field of People Analytics.

  • HR officers and team leaders.

  • AI professionals focusing on HR Tech.

  • Management consultants.

  • Universities and research centers interested in applied HR studies.

  • Organizations facing high turnover rates looking for accurate solutions.

Course Module

1. Introduction to Turnover Prediction

  • Comprehensive definition of employee turnover (voluntary vs. involuntary).

  • Direct (replacement, training) and indirect (morale loss, knowledge loss) financial impacts.

  • Why prediction is better than delayed detection.

  • Role of big data in improving HR decisions.

  • Global examples of companies reducing turnover by over 25% using ML.

2. Machine Learning Basics and HR Applications

  • Overview of ML and its role in analyzing human behavior.

  • Linear vs. non-linear algorithms.

  • When to use:

    • Random Forest

    • Gradient Boosting

    • Logistic Regression

    • Neural Networks

  • Strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm for HR data.

  • Overfitting risks in employee predictions.

  • Importance of model interpretability in HR.

3. Data Collection and Preparation

  • Types of HR data: performance, attendance, complaints, salaries, promotions, manager evaluations, satisfaction surveys.

  • Common data collection mistakes.

  • Data cleaning steps: outliers, missing values, encoding.

  • Using statistical tools to uncover variable relationships.

  • Converting behavioral indicators into model-ready numerical values.

4. Building the Predictive Model

  • Defining target variable.

  • Splitting data into training and testing sets.

  • Training algorithms and comparing accuracy.
