Introduction
We were given a company's human resource database to analyze in Power BI as part of our
Data Analytics Bootcamp assignment. Below is the solution to the case study, along with
screenshots of the dashboard, their descriptions, and recommendations.
Steps Performed
During the course of this project, I performed the following steps:
Data Cleaning
● Checked data types, errors, and empty values for all columns.
● The Employee ID column had duplicate values, which compromised data integrity. To
resolve this, I created an index and moved it to the beginning.
● Changed the data type of Longitude and Latitude.
New Columns
Using DAX and the new column feature, I created the following columns:
● Age Range
● Tenure
● Hire Year
● Hire Quarter
● Hire Month
New Measures
Using DAX, I created the following measures:
● Turnover Rate
● Oldest Employee
Analysis
Let’s dive into the analysis:
1. Employee Demographics
2. Diversity and Inclusion
3. Geographical Analysis
The largest number of employees in Seattle is in the United States.
4. Job Title and Department Analysis
5. Salary and Compensation Analysis
6. Hire and Exit Analysis
7. Employee Retention and Tenure
Actionable Insights and Recommendations
Recommendations
1. Marketing Turnover: The marketing department has the highest turnover rate. To
improve retention, introduce structured onboarding programs, mentorship, and career
development.
2. Salary Adjustments in IT and Engineering: Human Resources and Finance Salaries
are below average compared to other departments. Regular market reviews and
competitive salary adjustments will help retain talent.
3. Engagement Programs for IT and Sales: These departments have lower average
tenure. Implement flexible hours, recognition programs, and personal growth initiatives.
4. Exit Interviews in Marketing and Engineering: High exit rates in these departments
suggest a need for more thorough exit interviews to identify reasons for attrition and
inform corrective actions.
5. Mentorship for Younger Employees: Employees aged 25-34 have shorter tenures.
Offering mentorship and tailored career paths could improve retention in this group.
Strategies to Promote Diversity and Inclusion
1. Leadership Diversity: Leadership roles, particularly Director and VP positions, lack
diversity. Implement policies to promote gender and ethnic diversity in hiring and
promotions for these roles.
2. Inclusive Hiring in IT and Finance: These departments show less diversity. Increase
diverse recruitment and implement bias training to foster inclusivity.
3. Diverse Hiring in Strategy and Corporate Units: These business units have lower
diversity. Focus recruitment efforts on underrepresented groups to build a more inclusive
workforce.
