Creating turnover risk buckets

Now that you have predicted the probability of turnover for each active employee, you will classify them into different risk bucket as mentioned below:

  • no-risk, if 0 <= fit <= 0.5
  • low-risk, if 0.5 < fit <= 0.6
  • medium-risk, if 0.6 < fit <= 0.8
  • high-risk, if 0.8 < fit <= 1

You will use the cut() function instead of multiple ifelse() statements to create the risk buckets.

Risk buckets help you in creating appropriate interventions and retention plans.

Exercise instructions

  • Classify the employees in risk buckets based on the fit column in emp_risk as per the conditions mentioned above.
  • Print the number of employees in each risk bucket.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Create turnover risk buckets
emp_risk_bucket <- emp_risk %>% 
  ___(risk_bucket = ___(fit, breaks = c(0, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1), 
                           labels = c("no-risk", "low-risk", 
                                      "medium-risk", "high-risk")))

# Count employees in each risk bucket
emp_risk_bucket %>% 
  ___(risk_bucket)
