Machine Learning with Human Resources Data: Predicting Turnover among Community Mental Health Center Employees.

As our continuing research effort, it is important to study how the ML methods and outputs can be meaningfully utilized in routine management and leadership practice settings in mental health (including how to develop organization-tailored intervention strategies to support and retain employees) beyond identifying high turnover risk individuals. Such organization-based intervention strategies with ML applications can be accumulated and shared by organizations, which will facilitate the evidence-based learning communities to address turnover. This, in turn, may enhance the quality of care we can offer to clients. The continuing efforts will provide new insights and avenues to address data-driven, evidence-based turnover prediction and prevention strategies using HR data that are often under-utilized.
