But this doesn’t necessarily mean complicated and expensive software; instead it just means using root cause analysis thinking to look for patterns in the data. This presentation will provide an example of the use of root cause analysis (RCA)to look at workforce turnover, and how iterative analysis of the data can help inform our decisions. It will also discuss how HR professionals need to both understand and use RCA, but also deploy it within the organization as a basic core competency.
