OXFORD-BASED Zegami, the data visualisation company, has launched a new platform to enable employers to identify staff who are ‘at risk’ of leaving their organisation.

The new proposition is just the latest example of Zegami’s ambitious plans for growth. Earlier this year it announced it had raised £1.25m in equity funding, which it would use towards investing £4m into developing new solutions and tools to help organisations bring more structure to their data.

The company aims to change the way businesses and individuals search their documents.

Its software allows thousands of documents to be displayed in a single view, which users can apply advanced search tools to, including searching for images of 3D objects.

Called Zegami HR, Zegami’s new solution will provide HR professionals and organisations with a more detailed view on the role staff play at their organisations, and how important they are.

This will help them to more easily identify key members of staff and ensure that they are effectively managed and feel recognised and, ultimately, happy at work.

The new programme is based on a bespoke algorithm that Zegami has designed, which considers several factors that affect whether someone stays in their current job or leaves.

These include age, pay, benefits package or work location, and whether they are satisfied with their working environment.

Using this, Zegami HR can visually identify which employees could be looking to leave.

Zegami estimates that the average true cost to a business losing just one employee that could otherwise have been retained is £105,667. This is based on the average salary for someone in full-time work, hiring costs and productivity losses over several months while a replacement hire becomes as effective as the employee they replace.

Samuel Conway, co-founder and CEO, Zegami said: “Whatever the size of your company, it is easy to miss the signs that an employee is considering leaving. Zegami HR provides a quick, visual and easy way for employers to explore the things that are affecting their company and allows them to gain insight into their ‘flight risk’ people.”

Roger Noble, co-founder and CTO, Zegami, said: “We have a number of plans to develop new solutions for our growing number of clients.

“The amount of data generated means organisations are at greater risk of suffering from information overload.

"From a regulatory, compliance and market growth perspective, the importance of being able to manage and access your data effectively has never been greater.”

Zegami, based in Park End Street, launched out of Oxford University in 2016.

It is exploring new ideas for more than 35 clients, across an ever-growing variety of sectors.

One of its clients is the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League Baseball team in America.

The team has invested heavily in player analytics, analysing data on thousands of players from the college system and around the world to find the best talent available. By using Zegami, they can present the results in a way that makes it easy for the 'front office' team to get key pieces of information to make decisions.
