Project Details

Project Overview

The HR Attrition Analysis Dashboard is a fully interactive solution built in Power BI for Garbel, a fictional pharmaceutical company, to empower the Human Resources (HR) department. Using data sourced from Kaggle, the dashboard provides a deep dive into employee attrition metrics while also delivering a broader analysis of HR performance. The tool’s primary goal is to uncover the root causes of employee turnover, identify trends, and support the development of actionable strategies to reduce attrition and improve employee satisfaction.

This project is designed to demonstrate the transformative potential of HR analytics in guiding decision-making and strategy formulation, highlighting my ability to create interactive, insightful dashboards that solve real-world business problems.

Main Objectives

  1. Diagnose Attrition Causes: Analyze employee data to identify the main factors driving attrition, such as job satisfaction, income levels, and workload, and pinpoint high-risk roles and departments.
  2. Support Strategic Decision-Making: Provide actionable insights that help HR teams develop data-driven strategies to reduce turnover, improve retention, and enhance overall employee satisfaction.
  3. Comprehensive HR Analytics: Deliver a holistic view of key HR metrics, including employee demographics, satisfaction levels, income distribution, and department performance, enabling detailed analysis and comparisons.
  4. Scalability and Adaptability: Showcase a replicable and modular dashboard design that can be tailored to meet the needs of other organizations or industries, emphasizing its potential for driving HR analytics and decision-making.

Data Model

The dashboard is powered by a well-structured data model, designed for scalability and ease of analysis. Key datasets include:

  • Employee Demographics: Data on gender, age, educational background, and field of study.
  • Job Metrics: Information on roles, departments, performance ratings, and income levels.
  • Satisfaction Data: Scores for job, environment, and relationship satisfaction.
  • Attrition Metrics: Historical attrition rates and contributing factors.

The data model leverages Power BI’s DAX measures and relationships to enable interactive, drill-through capabilities and comprehensive insights.

Technologies and Tools Used

  • Power BI: The main tool for designing the interactive dashboard and creating custom measures for advanced analytics.
  • Kaggle Dataset: Real-world HR data used to simulate a business environment.
  • Python: For preprocessing, cleaning, and validating data.
  • Excel: For initial manipulation and integration of datasets.

Key Features

    • Core Features:
      • Metrics such as average age, years at the company, years in the current role, and satisfaction levels across various dimensions.
      • Drill-down functionality to analyze performance and attrition across department, job role and gender.
      • Identification of high-risk roles and groups based on attrition and satisfaction scores.
  3. Attrition Analysis
    • Purpose: Pinpoint the causes and trends driving employee turnover.
    • Core Features:
      • Attrition rate analysis segmented by job role, department, and satisfaction levels.
      • Scatter plots examining relationships between satisfaction, income, and performance metrics, revealing underlying trends.
      • Insights into departments and job roles with the highest attrition, enabling targeted interventions.
  4. Insights and Recommendations
    • Purpose: Translate findings into actionable strategies for HR teams.
    • Core Features:
      • Key findings summarizing primary attrition drivers, such as dissatisfaction, compensation gaps, or workload issues.
      • Recommendations tailored to address high-turnover areas, improve satisfaction, and promote employee retention.

Business impact

This dashboard highlights how HR analytics can revolutionize decision-making and improve organizational performance. Its key impacts include:

  1. Retention Improvement
    • By identifying the drivers behind employee turnover, HR teams can take proactive measures to retain top talent.
    • For example, high attrition in roles like Sales Representatives can be mitigated by addressing workload or compensation issues.
  2. Enhanced Satisfaction
    • Detailed insights into job satisfaction, environment satisfaction, and performance ratings empower HR to create targeted strategies that improve employee morale and engagement.
    • Departments with high satisfaction scores, such as Research & Development, can serve as benchmarks for other areas.
  3. Strategic Resource Allocation
    • The dashboard identifies departments and roles with the highest turnover, enabling efficient allocation of resources to address critical issues.
    • It also highlights successful roles or departments, providing a roadmap for replicating best practices across the organization.
  4. Scalability and Adaptability
    • This dashboard can be easily customized for other companies or industries, demonstrating its potential as a replicable, modular solution for HR analytics.

Future Enhancements

The dashboard is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, offering a seamless experience for both managers and employees. Here’s a breakdown of its key functionalities and how they can be used:

  • Dynamic Monitoring: Continuous tracking of attrition and satisfaction metrics, giving HR teams instant insights.
  • Live Data Integration: Automated data pipelines connecting ERP systems, allowing real-time updates of employee performance and attrition metrics.
  • Predictive Insights: Leveraging machine learning models to predict future attrition trends and provide preventive recommendations.

Conclusion

The HR Attrition Analysis Dashboard bridges the gap between raw data and actionable insights, enabling HR teams to identify, understand, and address attrition challenges effectively. By combining a comprehensive overview with targeted analysis, it empowers organizations to develop data-driven strategies for improving retention and employee satisfaction.

Its modular design and interactive features make it a highly adaptable tool, demonstrating how similar solutions can be tailored to other industries or business needs. Furthermore, its scalability ensures that it not only meets the current demands of HR departments but is also future-ready for real-time analytics and predictive capabilities.

This project is a testament to the power of business intelligence tools in transforming HR processes and driving organizational success.
