RetainTalent was founded by Toustone, a global Decision Intelligence company that specialises in delivering highly tailored data solutions across multiple industries. Over Toustone’s 9 years of experience, they recognised a consistent challenge facing many of these industries – employee retention. As a result, Toustone developed RetainTalent as a targeted solution to address this challenge without requiring an end-to-end data strategy.

Every company is unique, and RetainTalent will identify different triggers and patterns within your specific data compared to other companies. As a result, outcomes may vary.

Our predictions have identified that 87% of employees are at risk of leaving, with a 96% accuracy rate. In other words, out of 100 people who left, we correctly predicted 87 of them. However, some employees still left without being picked up by the model. And of the 87 people we predicted to leave, 96% actually did leave, while some did not.

The more data we have, the more insights we can generate. Ultimately, this can help your company to proactively retain valuable employees and improve overall performance.

Yes, RetainTalent can identify specific data metrics that contribute to the overall at risk level of a employee leaving. This analysis can be as an organisation profile but also for individual employees. for example, the effect of an employee’s tenure can impact their probability of staying or going within the next 12 months. This helps to identify an employee’s risk factors from high to low for a selection of metrics.

To generate our predictions, we begin by analysing your existing HR and payroll data with at least 1-2 years of history. You can also incorporate other data sources into the model at a later stage, which may improve prediction accuracy and provide additional insights.

The specific data we need to run the prediction is readily available, including:

• Payroll: Employee ID, bonuses, leave
• HR Systems: Demographics, employment type, start/end date

Other data sources, such as injury records, may also help identify staff turnover triggers and improve prediction accuracy. However, we understand the importance of employee confidentiality, so we only use staff ID to identify workers.

To facilitate a quick and easy deployment, we provide you with a template CSV file that you can populate with your HR system data. You can securely upload this file via a link that we provide. If needed, we can also automate the data loading process at a later date for added convenience. For more information, please contact our friendly team.
