An Analytical Approach for Improving Workplace Environment using HRM Systems and Application Programming Interfaces

Work Environment has emerged as a major data point for organizations to retain top talent and reduce attrition rate. Employee-Manager relationship is dependent on factors like salary, hike, trust, stocks, etc., and requires tracking on a regular basis. The usage of Human Resource Management Systems like SAP SuccessFactors or Workday provide solutions for the business scenario of Hire-To-Retire and build applications around them. They provide solutions to ease processes starting from hiring to providing career guidance on learning tools and enhance good practices of managers for establishing a sustainable working environment for employees. This paper explores existing solutions that use data taken with consent to help managers make focused and better decisions by understanding individual needs. This looks at Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and how the same can be used to perform regression or infer decisions highlighting the impact of technologies in the domain of enhancing employee centricity at any organization. It provides a usecase using the Kaggle dataset on similar records that are fetched through the APIs and helps a manager or organization to make data-driven decisions to create and improve the working culture of a workplace.
