The Personnel Portfolio: An Application for Agent based Models — •Magda Schiegl — Fachhochschule Köln, Claudiusstr. 1, 50678 Köln

The personnel portfolio of a company can be described by an agent based model. The agents correspond to the employees of the company. They are characterised by several internal parameters as for instance age, sex, number of years working with the company and level of education. Depending on these quantities the employees will (with some probability) lose their motivation, leave the company, retire or stay (with more or less chanced internal parameters) with the company. The model is calibrated by the help of empirical statistics from human resource data. We investigate the dynamics of the personnel portfolio: The number of employees and the level of motivation. We compare the results of the model with empirical data and knowledge of human resources department. Interesting questions in this regard are: What role does the organisational structure of a company play? Is there an influence by the class of business?

Possible applications of the model are: detecting and removing inefficiencies in companies arising from the personnel portfolio and its development over time; objective inclusion of soft facts in company rating systems; investigation of prosperous employing strategies for the future development of the company.
