Abstract
In a data-driven business landscape, predictive HR analytics plays a strategic role in managing workforce stability. The employee attrition, a long-standing issue in IT exists because in-house knowledge-based functions and employee mobility are threats to the company’s competitiveness. Traditional descriptive techniques give hardly any insights and organizations remain more reactive than proactive. This paper applies a hybrid HR analytics algorithmic framework, that draws from the Kaggle HR attrition data (n = 1,470) and validates the model on IT employee data from India (n = 102), demonstrating that the approach proved methodologically robust and practical feasibility. The predictive algorithms and model construction were carried out using Logistic Regression and Random Forest models, developed and analyzed based on prediction accuracy, interpretability, and generalizability. Based on the Kaggle dataset, Random Forest provided perfect scores to the data, though when it was used for IT workers, it did not generalize, indicating that the model was overfitting. Logistic Regression was less precise initially but generalized better and provided interpretable insight suitable for HR decision-making. Salary, tenure (especially in the first three years), overtime, job satisfaction, and age are stronger predictors of attrition. Younger employees and staff earlier in their careers were also more likely to leave, highlighting the generational and career stage dynamics. According to this study, attrition is influenced by financial indicators, career, lifestyle, and demographic components. Predictive analytics, and its application in HR practice, can provide evidence-based insights for proactive retention strategies in the IT sector
