Hello, data enthusiasts and HR professionals!


I'm excited to share a new project I recently completed on Tableau Public, an HR dashboard designed to provide comprehensive insights into various HR metrics. This dashboard aims to streamline the process of monitoring and analyzing employee data, helping HR teams make informed decisions. Let’s dive into the features and benefits of this dashboard.



Dashboard Overview

This HR dashboard is designed to give a holistic view of employee trends, departmental metrics, job satisfaction, and financial overviews. The intuitive layout and interactive elements make it easy to navigate and extract meaningful insights.

Satisfaction Levels: Rated on a scale of 1 to 4.

Age Groups: 18-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55, and 55+.

This visualization helps HR managers identify trends in job satisfaction and take targeted actions to improve employee morale.
