Dataset

The dataset contains various attributes related to employee demographics, work-life balance, compensation, and training. Key features include:

• Age: Employee's age group
• Work-Life Balance: Measure of work-life balance (1 to 4)
• Monthly Salary: Employee's average monthly salary
• Gender: Employee's gender
• Training Sessions: Number of training sessions attended in the previous year
• Job Level: Entry-level, Mid-level, or Senior-level
• Attrition: Indicator of whether the employee left the organization

Analysis and Insights

Key Findings

1. Age and Attrition

   • Employees in the younger age group (26 to 35 years) are more prone to attrition.

2. Work-Life Balance

   • 65% of employees enjoy good work-life balance, while 35% experience poor work-life balance.

3. Monthly Salary and Attrition

   • The average monthly salary significantly impacts employee attrition, with departing employees earning an average of $4,787 compared to $6,833 for those who remain.
   • Gender-specific average monthly income does not affect attrition rates, as both male and female departing employees have similar salary ranges.

4. Training and Attrition

   • Entry-level employees who left the organization did not receive adequate training, with 97% receiving less than 5 training sessions in the previous year.

Recommendations

1. Targeted Retention for Younger Employees

   • Implement mentorship programs and career development initiatives tailored to engage and retain employees within the 26 to 35 age group.
   • Invest in orientation programs and career development initiatives specifically tailored to entry-level staff to enhance their skills, job satisfaction, and retention.

2. Work-Life Balance Initiatives

   • Prioritize work-life balance initiatives to improve the well-being and retention of employees, especially those facing challenges in this area.

3. Review Compensation Packages

   • Ensure compensation and benefits packages are competitive in the market. Adjust salaries to align with industry standards to increase retention.
   • Focus on retention strategies unrelated to gender-specific compensation, such as career development opportunities and work environment improvements.

4. Enhanced Training Programs

   • Invest in orientation programs and career development initiatives specifically tailored to entry-level staff to enhance their skills, job satisfaction, and retention.
