12 The deployment took approximately 8 weeks 1 Analysis 2 Arena Pilot 3 Full Deployment Analyzed employee turnover trends to find patterns Determined which roles to target during the pilot Evaluated effectiveness with nursing roles Reduced 90 day turnover by 36.5% in first 4 months Deployed across both nursing and non-nursing roles Investigated additional outcomes Collected applicant, interaction, and outcome data Built customized models for each location, department, and role Integrated Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Defined applicant, recruiter, and hiring manager workflows and experiences Automated periodic refresh of outcome data to improve accuracy over time

30 Question 1: What s Your Greatest Area of Opportunity to Use Predictive Analytics to Prevent Turnover? 1 Pre-Hire or In-Seat Pre-Hire versus In-Seat Considerations Pre-Hire Do you experience the most early turnover within the first 90 days? Is your candidate pipeline healthy enough that you can afford to weed some candidates out? Would senior leaders be on board with narrowing the candidate pool? Do operational leaders or tenured frontline staff give you feedback that the candidates who are hired are not a good fit? In-Seat Do you experience the most early turnover after the 90-day mark? Are the reasons new hires are leaving so varied that you cannot identify actionable trends to help you reduce turnover?
