Abstract:

Understanding the impact of employee attrition on project completion is crucial for effective project management, especially within the context of web-based projects managed by software companies or IT firms. This research aims to analyze how employee attrition affects project completion and, consequently, the strategies necessary to mitigate its adverse effects for enhanced project management. Employee attrition, indicating the rate at which employees depart from an organization, significantly influences project outcomes. The relationship between employee attrition and project completion is complex and multifaceted, influenced by several factors. Key considerations include the loss of knowledge and expertise, disruptions in team dynamics, challenges in recruitment and training, difficulties in project handover, impacts on motivation and engagement, and project complexity and dependencies. These factors can lead to delays, reduced productivity, and hindered project progress. To counter these negative effects, organizations should focus on implementing effective talent retention strategies, such as competitive compensation, career development opportunities, positive work environments, and consistent feedback mechanisms. The structure of this research involves posing initial questions, providing comprehensive visualizations, and summarizing key insights from the analysis. Recommendations will be outlined based on these insights to aid organizations in reducing attrition rates and improving project management practices. The study utilizes a dataset of 1470 observations, encompassing 35 features, with a focus on the 'Attrition' label indicating employee departure. Notably, the dataset exhibits an imbalance, with 84% of employees remaining in the organization and 16% leaving. Addressing this imbalance is critical for accurate analysis and interpretation. The distribution of labels illustrates the prevalence of employees choosing to stay compared to those opting to leave, prompting the need for careful consideration in predictive modelling approaches.
