Abstract [en]
Measuring and tracking the employee turnover rate is a crucial part when evaluating a company’s performance. An important part of this is measuring the employment duration within an organization. The purpose of this report is to investigate if employment duration in a food retail company can be explained by predetermined variables using multiple linear regression. Data from five years ago until today has been collected and processed to analyze and fit the best choice of the linear model. Gender, employment rate, industry experience and age are the predictors used for conducting the analysis. The result shows that a low linear correlation can be seen between employment duration and the explanatory variables: gender, employment rate, industry experience and age. In the discussion, the results are analyzed as well as potential problems and improvements of the regression.
