Employee attrition, where employees leave the company, presents significant challenges for businesses globally, leading to increased costs, talent loss, and operational disruptions. Addressing the root causes of attrition is essential for maintaining organizational stability and productivity. This research focused on addressing the predictive challenge of employee attrition through the development of a novel Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based model. To enhance the model’s interpretability, eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques such as SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), and Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) were integrated.

摘要

Employee attrition, where employees leave the company, presents significant challenges for businesses globally, leading to increased costs, talent loss, and operational disruptions. Addressing the root causes of attrition is essential for maintaining organizational stability and productivity. This research focused on addressing the predictive challenge of employee attrition through the development of a novel Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based model. To enhance the model’s interpretability, eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques such as SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), and Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) were integrated. The DNN model achieved an accuracy of 95.71%, with precision, recall, specificity, F1-score, and ROC AUC score all exceeding 0.95. These results demonstrate the model’s effectiveness in identifying employees likely to leave. Furthermore, the insights provided by XAI techniques, both globally and locally, verified well with established human resource management knowledge, offering valuable perspectives on the factors driving employee attrition.
