Aimco Selects SPSS to Enhance Employee Recruitment and Retention.

CHICAGO -- SPSS Inc. (NASDAQ:SPSS), a leading worldwide provider of predictive analytics software, today announced that Apartment Investment Management Company Co Aimco (NYSE: AIV) has purchased SPSS predictive analytics software to enhance its employee recruitment and retention efforts.

Aimco is the nation's largest owner and operator of apartment homes in the United States Co operating 1,320 properties, including approximately 230,000 apartment units, serving nearly one million residents each year. Aimco employs about 6,500 employees in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

"SPSS predictive analytics software will help Aimco increase retention, reduce talent acquisition costs and maximize employee productivity," said Aimco Senior Vice President of Talent Management Terri Heredia.

Reducing employee turnover and keeping recruitment costs down are essential functions of Human Resources (HR). Aimco is developing three predictive models that enhance how HR can effectively manage the people side of the business with bottom-line results. First, the Candidate Success model identifies prospective high performers in the recruiting process using data from current successful employees.

Second, the Turnover model identifies points of failure in the employee lifecycle to proactively address turnover at the individual level. Third, the Resource Allocation model is a business-driven demand model that predicts and validates headcount needs and drives efficiency in operations.

"Employers know the never-ending challenge of recruiting and retaining superior employees," said SPSS President and CEO Jack Noonan. "Aimco's deployment of predictive analytics demonstrates how human resources organizations can improve not only their operations but also the organizations they support."
