• Abstract: Purpose - Inefficient hiring may result in lower productivity and higher training costs. Productivity losses caused by absenteeism at work cost U.S. employers billions of dollars each year. Also, employers typically spend a considerable amount of time managing employees who perform poorly. The purpose of this study is to develop a decision support tool to predict absenteeism among potential employees. Design/methodology/approach - We utilized a popular open-access dataset. In order to categorize absenteeism classes, the data have been preprocessed, and four methods of machine learning classification have been applied: Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Random Forests (RF). We selected the best model, based on several validation scores, and compared its performance against the existing model; we then integrated the best model into our proposed web-based for hiring managers. Findings - A web-based decision tool allows hiring managers to make more informed decisions before hiring a potential employee, thus reducing time, financial loss and reducing the probability of economic insolvency. Originality/value - In this paper, we propose a model that is trained based on attributes that can be collected during the hiring process. Furthermore, hiring managers may lack experience in machine learning or do not have the time to spend developing machine learning algorithms. Thus, we propose a web-based interactive tool that can be used without prior knowledge of machine learning algorithms.

  There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach. Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes. We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.
