Lære Building a Simple Attrition Model | Predictive People Analytics

Stryg for at vise menuen

Understanding when employees might leave an organization—known as employee attrition—is a key challenge in people analytics. Predicting attrition helps HR teams intervene early and retain valuable talent. One of the most common approaches for this task is logistic regression, a machine learning method designed for binary classification problems. In the context of attrition, you are trying to predict whether an employee will stay (0) or leave (1), based on various features like job satisfaction, years at the company, and more.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

# Hardcoded HR data: each row is an employee
# Features: Satisfaction, YearsAtCompany, Age
# Target: Attrition (1=Yes, 0=No)
data = {
    'Satisfaction': [0.9, 0.4, 0.3, 0.7, 0.2, 0.8, 0.5, 0.6],
    'YearsAtCompany': [5, 2, 1, 6, 1, 7, 3, 4],
    'Age': [34, 28, 25, 45, 23, 50, 30, 38],
    'Attrition': [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

X = df[['Satisfaction', 'YearsAtCompany', 'Age']]
y = df['Attrition']

# Fit logistic regression model
model = LogisticRegression()
model.fit(X, y)

After fitting the logistic regression model, you obtain coefficients for each feature. These coefficients represent the relationship between each feature and the probability of attrition. A positive coefficient means that as the feature increases, the likelihood of attrition increases. A negative coefficient means the opposite. For example, if Satisfaction has a negative coefficient, higher satisfaction is associated with a lower probability of leaving. The model predicts the probability that an employee will leave, and by default, predicts attrition if that probability is greater than 0.5.

# Predict attrition for the same employees
predictions = model.predict(X)
probabilities = model.predict_proba(X)[:, 1]

# Evaluate accuracy
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
accuracy = accuracy_score(y, predictions)

print("Predicted Attrition:", predictions)
print("Predicted Probabilities:", probabilities)
print("Model Accuracy:", accuracy)
