A deep dive into big data produces some surprising results. But it’s not an academic exercise.
Real change is possible when we dig beneath the surface.

A focus on retaining key talent in a period preceded by uncertainty and layoffs.
Analysis
Identification of teams most at risk of losing key employees. Further analysis of risk factors including isolation and burnout also provided.

Are Teams working extreme hours?
A concern was raised that in a post-lay-off period, employees have assumed additional responsibilities which could lead to burnout.
Analysis
Mapped the activities of all teams to identify those teams with excessive or extremely low workloads. Additional comparisons were made on focus time and time spent in meetings.
Findings
Across the organization, almost 8% of employees belong to teams identified as having high burnout risk based on overworking.
Action
Because there was no option of hiring additional resources, HR used this data to engage with specific Team leaders and develop concrete plans to redistribute workloads and implement flexible working hours.

How diverse is management?
Senior management recognized that there is an underrepresentation of specific population groups in management positions. HR was tasked with providing a report on how widespread the phenomena is but lacked data.
Analysis
A comprehensive analysis of team leads, line managers and senior managers across the entire organization at a team, group and division level. Additional analytics into resignation and burnout risks were performed.
Findings
Rankings of representation levels across all teams, highlighted areas of significant underrepresentation. The rate of potential burnout from individuals from underrepresented groups was over 57% the rate for all managers.
Action
The information on diversity has provided HR with a new tool to address DEI at an individual level. The immediate action has been to include this information in promotion evaluation meetings. In specific cases where the patterns of underrepresentation were most severe, it has required escalations. Specific instances of burnout and resignation factors were communicated to division management for potential interventions.
