Predictive Analytics for HR: A Primer to Get Started on your HR Analytics Jou...Dr Susan Entwisle
Traditionally, HR teams have made decisions on hiring, retaining, assigning and developing employees using intuition, experience, and basic descriptive statistical reports. Predictive analytics complements and extends on these approaches by enabling HR teams to make proactive ‘forward-looking’ data-driven decisions on its people across the employee lifecycle. Examples of this include gaining insights into the drivers and predicting who are our top performers, what employees are at risk of leaving, is our training program effective, and more. This capability can support HR teams to better align HR programs with strategic business goals.
This presentation outlines the limitations with current approaches and explain what predictive analytics is so business users can understand the business opportunity and problems it can be applied to. A number of case studies on its use across the employee lifecycle are described and guidance given on how to get started on your HR predictive analytics journey.

The HR Business Partner is the most critical role in the modern HR Model. The HRBP is the employee, who acts as the single point of the contact for internal clients. However, the HRPB is not a pure sales person. The HRBP influences the work of Human Resources, participates in setting HR Goals and Objectives, leads difficult projects and collaborates with HR Centers of Excellence.
The role is critical, but many companies fail in choosing right employees for the position. The HR Business Partner has to be highly skilled and has to understand to all HR processes to sell them the right way.

Project Server - Who can benefit from it and how?SPC Adriatics
Strict quantification of value provided by some software solution is very difficult. That’s especially true in the case of software which is supposed to increase value of project management discipline whose benefits are itself difficult to quantify. Difficulty to quantify doesn’t imply that such value doesn’t exist. It only means that we need to add an extra effort to recognize it.
The purpose of this presentation is to make that extra effort and, by examining different attributes like; industry, character and size of projects, maturity of the organization – recognize patterns that lead to value realization. The key Project Server capabilities will be discussed in context of how they provide value in specific usage scenarios.
As always, realized value have to be contrasted with required investment so we will estimate the cost of EPM implementation in on-premise and cloud model.
The target audience for the presentation are all of you who believe that projects could and should be better managed in your organizations, and you have a vote on decision on using software for such an improvement.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

8. Analytics
• Business Intelligence/Data Warehousing and
Analytics - used to understand trends/patterns
in data and gather information about behaviour
and causal relationships.
• Analytics comes in various shapes, forms and
sizes – some of the most popular forms are
the dashboards and scorecards.

9. Dashboards vs Scorecards
• An HR dashboard like the dials in a vehicle
dashboard can provide information for
example about :
• total employee count
• how many reported to work today
• the total absentee count
• how many unplanned absentees there are among
them etc.
• However, it does not provide the user with
necessary information to arrive at a
Free Powerpoint Templates
conclusion. Page 9
10. Dashboards vs Scorecards
• A Scorecard uses a set of pre-defined rules and
metrics to determine the state of health of a
company.
• For example : If the attrition rate goes above 8% it
shows as red in the scorecard prompting the user to
take action.
• Some leading vendors have analytic applications that
come packaged with predefined metrics, database
models and reports that make the implementation of
analytic solutions easier..

11. Example of Analytic Workflow
A typical analytic work flow starts with a prompt
like the scorecard turning red for more than
allowable attrition rates.
In the previous example, to illustrate the analytic
workflow, the user starts with the scorecard, then
drills down to the next level to see that most of the
people quitting belong to a certain department and
a project.
Upon further analysis it is apparent that most of
the people who have quit in the past couple of
weeks have been working long hours for
several months and thus had very low morale.
The project has been running over budget and
beyond expected deadline.
To arrest the attrition the Manager takes action
to either shut thePowerpoint Templates more
Free project down or add
people to the project to help close it. Page 11
12. Insightful information at a glance
• Advanced visualization available ensures that users
do not have pore over pages of reports as in the past
• With just a glance of heat map, the user can
understand how productive employees are across
geographies (example: countries or regions) or
across departments.
• Helps immediately pick out areas of concern and
take corrective actions.

16. Workforce Intelligence – Understanding the
Evolution
Analytics Description
Descriptive Those which summarize and compare operational and/or financial data on key workforce variables within
Reporting defined timeframes.
Examples: totals, averages, percentages and trends. These are used primarily to create lagging indicators
Retrospective Those which apply one or two internal data sources to derive useful information.
Analytics
Example: The past education experience of job candidates is compared to job performance during the first
year of employment.
These are used to create both lagging indicators, performance benchmarks and insights.
Predictive Mathematical models that use multiple internal and external data sources to predict future
Analytics workforce events.
Example: A predictive model that uses internal and external employee level data to predict
the likelihood that a particular employee will resign in the next six months and supply the
reasons for the prediction
These are used to create leading indicators and focus limited resources on small segments of
the employee population where the impact is likely to create the greatest benefit.

17. What is Predictive Modeling?
– Predictive analytics uses available internal
and external data to predict future events at
the customer or employee level.
– Value is created by focusing limited
resources on the right customers/employees
at the right time resulting in improved
outcomes.

18. WHAT-IF Analysis
• Predictive modeling techniques can be applied on top
of analytic tools to perform „WHAT-IF?” analysis to
help even predict what the future may have in hold.
• For example while designing a hiring campaign the
HR manager can adjust the various knobs and levers
like acceptance rate, education level, compensation,
etc which will not only help him design the campaign
but also can tell him the rate of head count growth
and thus allowing him Powerpoint Templates future.

36. Compensation
Average income per employee
• This would help us evaluate how the average income of our company compares with the
market standards. We could group it with Position/Job/Performance bands for comparison
with market standards.
Comparative Ratio
• Compa ratio describes the individual's position in the pay range against the pay policy
reference point for the range and can be used to reposition an individual's pay in the range if it
is too high or low.
Compensation as percentage of Sales
• Helps compare compensation across departments with their sales output thereby ensuring
that the high performing departments are suitably rewarded.
Variable pay as percentage of compensation
• This helps us in knowing the variable component (commissions) paid as a percentage of the
total compensation.
Over Time Pay as percentage of compensation
• This will indicate the Overtime efforts put in, and combined with the sales KPI could indicate
under staffing in particular departments.

37. Attrition
Employee turnover percentage
This KPI would indicate whether the total terminations have improved/worsened or within permissible limits.
Merging it would other tradition KPIs like Sales output of a department would help us understand the how the
productivity is affected by these terminations.
Voluntary turnover percentage
Voluntary terminations refer to those initiated by the employees, these kinds of terminations harms the
Organization.
Involuntary turnover percentage
Involuntary terminations refer to those initiated by the Organization. This could be coupled with other traditional
KPIs to improve recruiting procedures and minimize involuntary terminations.
Average period of service of employees who resign
This KPI helps us understand service bands of the employees leaving the organization and plan the replacements
accordingly. Suitable retention plans can be developed improved if we know which category of people we are at a
higher risk of losing.
Top Performer Voluntary turnover
Losing top performer is always a concern. Knowing the top performers and the reasons/department/supervisor we
have lost them will help prevent such cases in the future.
Productivity turnover rate per department
This coupled with the turnover rate will help us understand the loss of productivity caused due to terminations.

38. Performance
Sales turnover
• This KPI will indicate if the sales turnover has been in an uptrend or downtrend.
Sales turnover per employee
• This KPI will help us understand the top performing departments. A higher value is always
preferable but it could also indicate under staffing in certain scenarios.
Profit per employee
• This KPI will be quite similar to the one mentioned above, but it will help us locate areas
where higher sales is not translating to higher profits. It possibly indicates higher
expenditure which needs to be controlled.
Administration cost per employee
• This KPI will reveal a major expense namely labour cost involved. A combination of all
these KPIs will reveal if the employees of high performing departments are suitable
rewarded.
Labour cost as percentage of sales
• This KPI shows the labour cost as a percentage of sales.

39. Retention
At Risk top performer count
• It’s important to know the top performers whom we are at a risk of losing. The KPI will be
calculated based on the values of compa ratio and performance ratings of an employee.
Percentage Average Satisfaction
• This KPI will indicate if employees are satisfied with the work environment. A detailed
report can be created that help us find the reasons for dissatisfaction if any (work life
balance, overtime hours, compensation etc).
Average increase in compensation
• It will help us understand if employee’s efforts are suitable rewarded in a timely manner.
Training programme enrollments per employee
• It will help us understand if employees are getting a chance to upgrade skills for career
progression, could be an indicator for assessing voluntary turnover.
Overtime Hours
• If the employees have to consistently put in extra efforts to meet the targets, it could be
because of labour constraints. If not fixed appropriately it might lead to voluntary
turnovers. Free Powerpoint Templates

40. Diversity
Contingent worker as a percentage of total workforce
• Indicates the composition of contract workers in the organization.
Full Time workers as a percentage of total workforce
• Indicates the percentage of Full Time workers in the workforce.
Headcount
• Headcount metric could be used with a variety of dimension columns to
understand the diversity in the workforce. To name some -
– Nationality/Ethnicity
– Gender
– Skill
– Educational Qualification
– Age Band
