Overview

This HR analytics project studies employee training hours, performance scores, training completion, promotions, and roles across departments. The visualizations reveal relationships and trends that help managers make data-driven workforce development decisions.

 

1. Average Training Hours by Department

 

  • Graph Type: Bar Chart
  • What it shows: The average number of training hours employees completed year-to-date as per department.
  • Interpretation:
    The Technology and Operations departments have the highest average training hours, indicating strong investment in employee skill enhancement. Sales and Marketing show moderate hours, while Support has the least.
  • Management Insight:
    Training initiatives can be reviewed to understand why some departments invest more time in training and whether others might improve performance with increased training focus.

 

2. Distribution of Performance Scores

 

  • Graph Type: Histogram with KDE (Density Curve)
  • What it shows: Frequency distribution of employee performance scores.
  • Interpretation:
    The scores predominantly cluster in the 60-85 range, with fewer employees performing at very low or very high levels. This implies generally solid performance but also room for improvement and coaching for low performers.
  • Management Insight:
    Managers can identify employees needing improvement or recognize top performers for advancement. This distribution helps allocate training and coaching resources effectively.

 

3. Training Completion Last Year vs Performance (Box Plot - Description)

 

  • Graph Type: Box Plot
  • What it shows: Performance score distribution comparison between employees who completed training in the last year vs those who did not.
  • Interpretation:
    Employees completing recent training would likely show higher median performance scores and less variability, indicating training effectiveness.
  • Management Insight:
    The organization can correlate training participation with performance improvement, making a case to enforce or expand training programs.

 

4. Recent Promotions by Department (Bar Chart - Conceptual)

 

  • Graph Type: Bar Chart
  • What it shows: Number of employees promoted recently in each department.
  • Interpretation:
    This metric helps understand which departments are growing leaders or have higher mobility, indicating developmental opportunities.
  • Management Insight:
    Promotions can be aligned with performance data to ensure meritocracy and identify departments needing more leadership development.

 

5. Performance Score by Role (Box Plot - Conceptual)

 

  • Graph Type: Box Plot
  • What it shows: Variability and median of performance scores grouped by job role (Executive, Associate, Manager).
  • Interpretation:
    Managers usually have higher performance levels, but it's important to monitor variance across all roles to ensure balanced workforce development.
  • Management Insight:
    Tailored training and support programs can be created depending on role-specific performance trends.
