Predictive analytics is a powerful tool to generate insights on future outcomes like employee performance with a significant degree of precision. Organisations increasingly leverage this to detect risks and opportunities and inform targeted interventions. However, the lack of capability in implementing predictive analytics is one of the key reasons that is holding back HR from optimising their people data. This session will introduce the audience to the key processes involved in building a predictive model and the critical success factors to transform data into meaningful performance insights.
