“I've worked with Anuj at Cognizant for close to 8 years. I've seen him excel at the core elements of our job i.e. data and analytics. l worked with him on couple of projects as his manager and learnt that he is not only a good team player but also highly adaptive and an effective project leader. He would extend well beyond the scope of his role. Anuj will be asset to any team, his US healthcare industry knowledge and the data science grasp with respect to application on a real world scenarios are best in class.”

How can you use multivariate statistics to identify the most important employee performance predictors?
Understanding what truly drives employee satisfaction is a complex task, given the multifaceted nature of human behavior. Therefore, relying solely on simplistic univariate or bivariate analysis can lead to misleading conclusions. Multivariate analysis techniques allow us to analyze multiple factors simultaneously and explore the intricate relationships among variables. It helps us avoid common pitfalls such as mistaking correlation for causation. The analysis approach involves collaboration between expert data scientists, who ensure the quality and validity of the data, and SMEs, who provide valuable insights, hypotheses, and context. This collaborative effort enables us to derive meaningful conclusions and actionable insights.
