Frito-Lay Attrition Model Prediction
This project delves into the intricate relationship between employee attrition and salary dynamics, using data science to uncover the underlying patterns that drive workforce stability. By analyzing records from 870 employees, we explore how factors like job satisfaction, income, and career progression influence retention rates across different departments. Through machine learning models, including K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Naïve Bayes, we predict attrition while addressing challenges like class imbalance and feature interactions. A robust regression analysis further reveals that while salary and experience strongly correlate with income, financial incentives alone do not guarantee retention—job satisfaction and career trajectory play equally complex roles. Key findings show that younger employees earning under $5,000 per month exhibit the highest turnover, and advanced job levels see only a marginal reduction in attrition. These insights offer actionable strategies for HR professionals and business leaders, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that aligns financial growth with job fulfillment. By blending statistical rigor with real-world relevance, this study provides a data-driven lens into the evolving workplace, equipping organizations with the knowledge to build a more engaged and resilient workforce.
