HR Glossary
What is Predictive Attrition?
The use of statistical models and machine learning to identify employees who are at elevated risk of leaving the organization within a defined time horizon, typically 6 to 12 months, by analyzing patterns in HR data, engagement signals, and behavioral indicators that have historically preceded voluntary turnover.
Why it matters in hiring
Predictive Attrition comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
