Synthetic Data Generation for Workforce Analytics : A Review of GANs and Differential Privacy Techniques in Human Capital Forecasting

Authors(4) :-Bamidele Samuel Adelusi, Abel Chukwuemeke Uzoka, Yewande Goodness Hassan, Favour Uche Ojika

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Human Resources (HR) analytics, the integration of synthetic data has emerged as a pivotal solution to address challenges associated with data privacy, accessibility, and scalability. Traditional HR data, often laden with sensitive personal information, poses significant barriers to comprehensive analysis due to stringent privacy regulations and ethical considerations. Synthetic data, generated through advanced algorithms, offers a viable alternative by mimicking the statistical properties of real datasets without compromising individual privacy. This paper delves into the motivations behind the adoption of synthetic data in HR analytics, explores the inherent challenges of utilizing real workforce data, and outlines the objectives and scope of employing generative techniques within privacy frameworks. By examining the significance of these methodologies, the study aims to illuminate the transformative potential of synthetic data in enhancing HR analytics while safeguarding ethical standards.
