Purpose
Separate time series into trend, seasonality, and residual components.
Business questions
- Is attrition rising beyond seasonal patterns?
- Do hiring spikes follow predictable seasonality?
Data required
- Clean employee event history
- Consistent definitions
- Adequate sample size
The method
Decompose monthly metrics; analyze trend and seasonal indices.
Example application
Decompose monthly voluntary attrition to distinguish seasonal graduations from structural increases.
How to interpret it
Residual spikes warrant investigation beyond normal seasonal variation.
Limitations
Short history limits seasonality detection; structural breaks from reorganizations.
