Reference: Unplanned employee absenteeism presents a critical operational and financial challenge to organizations across industries, with U.S. employers losing approximately $225.8 billion annually. This paper proposes a specialized cloud-native machine learning framework to forecast shift-level absenteeism 12-48 hours in advance. Our proposed approach would integrate diverse data sources including historical attendance patterns, shift metadata, weather conditions, traffic data, and holiday proximity to create a robust predictive model. This proposal details the significant business problem, specific tree-based modeling decisions, hyperparameter optimization strategies, and implementation considerations that could enable substantial performance gains in enterprise workforce management.
