Aadhar - for HR ?



Aadhar  Aggregate   Anonymous  Data  Harvesting  about  Recruitment




Even as debate on Data Privacy is raging and B N Srikrishna Committee is debating the PROS and CONS of Privacy vs Publicity ( of data ) , there is a general consensus that aggregating anonymized data for the purpose of GREATER GOOD of the Society , should be permitted


I want to go one step further and say :


Such gathering and using of Anonymized data should be Encouraged / Solicited / Mandated , for policy and strategy formulation


Here is a glimpse of what I have in my mind


I worked in a large engineering company for over 30 years .


So did many of my colleagues , all of us starting as JUNIOR supervisors and retiring as GENERAL MANAGERS, after serving for 20 / 30 / 40 years


This was between 1950s and 1990s


How did we fare when it came to the “ Salary Increments “ that we received ,


·          to compensate us for neutralizing the rising “ Cost of Living “ ?


·          to improve our “ Standard of Living “ ?



Look at the following (  ANONYMIZED  ) data about Salary Growth ( Rs per month )  :



Name  /  Start  / End  /  Diff  /  Years of Service / Growth/month( ave ) / Joining Year


A   /   Rs  2500   /  Rs  19,250   /  Rs 16,750  /  24  /  Rs 698  /  1972

=======================================================
B   /    350     /    17,700     /     17,350    /    39     /   445    /    1956


C    /   3,000    /   13, 270    /   10,270    /   18   /       570     /    1977



D    /   1,600    /    16,900    /   15,300    /   23    /     665    /     1971



E    /    2,700    /   10,300    /   7,600    /   21    /     362    /       1971



F     /    135    /    7,700     /   7,565     /    43    /      176    /     1948


G    /    625    /   9,985    /    9,360   /     31     /      302     /     1959


H     /    2,500    /  6,000   /   3,500   /    17     /      206    /      1972



J     /   1,400    /  7,500   /   6,100    /    23     /       265    /      1965




Do you see the “ limitations “ of the above “ analysis “ ?


It pertained to just one COMPANY / one INDUSTRY / one CITY / one EDU LEVEL / one DESIGNATION LEVEL / nine EMPLOYEES



Can you guess what “ Insights “ such “ Data Analytics “ could yield if it was for :


·         A million  Companies , operating in

·         100  different  Industries , and located in

·         5,000  Cities , covering

·         100 million  Employees , having

·         500  different  Edu Qualifications , and having

·         1000  different  Titles / Designations



Also remember that the above-tabulated analysis was carried out by :


·         one retired employee ( possessing limited natural intelligence ) ,

·         after a lapse of  30 years  and ,

·         taking a  few hours  of data-digging / tabulating ?

·          

Can you guess if such analysis were to be carried out ,

·         INSTANTANEOUSLY

·         DYNAMICALLY

·         AUTOMATICALLY ( without human intervention ) , and by

·         ARTIFICIAL  INTELLIGENCE  ( AI ) ,


Then what kind of  POLICY INPUTS  that could provide  ?



To know ,


·         Aadhar ( Aggregate   Anonymous  Data  Harvesting  about  Recruitment )


·         How it can be implemented ,
