Collect data: Performance scores by employee historically, Warnings or other documented Employee Actions, Promotions, job changes, Schools attended, Skill gaps, Absence/Lateness data, Manager changes, Department profits, etc. Derive the successful employee variable as the dependent variable Find co-linear or data that answers the same question twice Run analyses to show the variables that best predict successful employees Conclude analyses with a model of how a successful employee is predicted Announce the results and test methods of replicating the successes in future hiring and promotion activities 45 Ten Steps to use this information 1.
