Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for employee retention assessments, such as surveys and exit interviews, are time-intensive, biased, and fail to provide actionable insights that can be scaled across large workforces, lacking the ability to analyze real-time online activity data from multiple platforms.

Innovation Solution

An AI-driven system that monitors employee online activity across various platforms, aggregates data using machine learning models to assign retention categories, and generates custom graphic interfaces with notifications and recommendations for improving retention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If surveys and exit interviews are conducted to assess employee retention, then employee morale and retention reasons can be gathered, but the process becomes time-intensive and fails to provide actionable insights at scale

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemployee retention insightsVSAvoidtime for surveys and interviews
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of online activity data to identify employees at risk of leaving before they actually leave. By monitoring indicators such as reduced login frequency, changes in collaboration patterns, and other behavioral signals, the system flags at-risk employees early, enabling proactive retention interventions rather than waiting for exit interviews

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual survey and interview processes with automated machine learning models that analyze online activity data. Instead of human reviewers manually assessing retention risk through time-consuming surveys, an automated ML system continuously monitors digital footprints and generates retention risk assessments at scale

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If individual exit interviews are conducted for departing employees, then specific retention reasons can be identified, but the approach cannot reveal systemic problems and is not scalable to large workforces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual retention assessment accuracyVSAvoidscalability of retention assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a universal retention assessment framework that simultaneously evaluates individual employees while also identifying systemic patterns. The same ML model that assesses individual risk scores can aggregate data across teams, locations, and departments to reveal organizational-wide retention issues, serving multiple functions with a single system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where individual retention assessments feed into aggregate analytics. As the system monitors more employees, it refines its understanding of both individual risk factors and systemic patterns, using feedback from individual cases to improve overall organizational retention strategies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If retention assessments are conducted after employees give notice of intent to leave, then specific departure reasons can be obtained, but it is too late to implement effective retention measures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeparture reasons dataVSAvoidtiming for retention intervention
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of at-risk employees by monitoring changes in online behavior patterns before employees submit resignation notices. Indicators such as decreased login activity, reduced collaboration, and other digital footprint changes trigger early warnings, enabling retention interventions to be implemented while employees are still engaged

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares retention intervention strategies in advance by identifying at-risk employees before they leave. By cushioning against potential departures through early detection and proactive engagement, the organization can implement retention measures that prevent turnover rather than reacting after the decision to leave has been made

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

4Quantity of substance

If online activity data is collected from multiple platforms, then comprehensive employee behavior data can be gathered, but the data becomes difficult to filter and present in a useful manner

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume of online activity dataVSAvoiddata processing and presentation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant features from vast amounts of online activity data. Rather than attempting to process and present all available data points, the ML model identifies and extracts key indicators such as login frequency, collaboration patterns, and other behavioral signals that are most predictive of retention risk, filtering out noise and irrelevant information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Systems and methods for performing intelligent retention assessments, recommendations, and custom graphic interfaces are provided. Information may be stored in memory regarding one or more retention categories of users. Each category may be associated with a corresponding set of online activity indicators. A plurality of online platforms accessible a communication network may be monitored for one or more online data changes in accordance with a profile. Data may be aggregated from the online platforms regarding detected changes in online data associated with the profile. One of the retention categories may be assigned to the profile by applying an artificial intelligence model to the aggregated data. The artificial intelligence model may have been trained to correlate online data with the set of indicators corresponding to the retention categories. A custom graphic user interface may be generated based on a threshold associated with the assigned retention category, which may be displayed at a user device and includes a notification that the threshold associated with the assigned retention category has been met.
