👨‍💼 Employee Performance Predictor using Data Analytics

📌 Overview

A machine learning-based HR analytics system that predicts employee performance using historical and simulated workforce data.

The project helps organizations:

• Identify high-performing employees
• Detect underperformers early
• Support HR decision-making
• Improve workforce planning

---

🎯 Objective

To build an end-to-end machine learning pipeline that:

• Analyzes employee data
• Trains a predictive model
• Classifies employee performance
• Visualizes key insights through an interactive dashboard

---

🧠 Problem Statement

Organizations often struggle to evaluate employee performance objectively.

This system solves this by using data-driven predictions instead of manual evaluation methods.
