An employee performance forecasting overview typically outlines the key components and objectives of a forecasting model developed to assess employee effectiveness in the workplace. Such models include employee demographics, jobrelated factors (job description, tenure, etc.), performance metrics (sales figures, customer feedback, etc.), and psychometric scores (personality traits, cognitive abilities). The goal of such models is to identify the factors most strongly associated with high performance and use this information to predict future employee success. This chapter describes potential challenges and limitations associated with the predictive models, such as ethical concerns about the use of personal data, the potential for bias or error in predictive algorithms, and the need to balance the benefits of predictive modeling with concerns about employee privacy and autonomy.
