Seems like a reasonable use of BI tech. Heuristic, self-correcting systems like that can work.
I built one that predicted whether a customer would stay or leave, and it was accurate enough to be useful. Wasn't perfect, but no system ever is. I could see something like that having a use in employee retention.
Would have to be a large number of employees before it would have a sample-base large enough to be useful, but Google probably qualifies there.
Just so long as they don't use it to replace human judgement, but to supplement it, I think it's a good idea.
