Naruhiko Shiratori, professor, Tokyo City University along with a Japanese startup, are working on developing an artificial intelligence tool that will predict when a new joinee, especially a fresher will quit their job.
The HR personnel in any organisation work hard to put the right talent in place. They also help arrange for the new entrants to be inducted, trained and settled in. Yet, with the number of job hoppers going up, it is common to find workers quitting an organisation in less than two years. This is where this AI tool may come in handy.
There is already an AI tool that helps identify students from a college or university who are considering dropping out. Shiratori and the startup are going to work on an upgrade of this AI tool, which will tell employers when fresh graduates who have joined them will quit their jobs. This prediction will be based on various factors, including the performance and attendance of the new joinees/freshers. The tool will employ data extracted from job interviews, the traits exhibited by the employees, their background, their history, attendance and so on to make the predictions.
The tool is being tested. In its pilot stage, it is also identifying freshers who seem to be facing challenges at work and at home. If such employees are sniffed out by the AI tool in time, it will become possible for their employers to offer them the help they require to improve their performance and productivity, instead of seeing them quit.
