Human Resource Management (HRM) is increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, yet many HR analytics models remain static and fail to capture evolving career patterns. This study proposes an adaptive AI framework integrating Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models for employee attrition prediction and career-stage progression modeling. Using the IBM HR Analytics dataset, the framework employs weighted feature aggregation, DNN-based classification, and LSTM-driven temporal analysis, alongside an adaptive retraining mechanism. Results show improved performance with 95.58% accuracy, 1.00 precision, 72.34 recall, 83.95 F1-score, and 0.84 ROC-AUC. The model also enhances minority-class recall and PR-AUC under class imbalance. Overall, the framework offers a scalable and intelligent solution for succession planning and data-driven workforce management in dynamic organizational environments.
