Human Resources Attrition Dashboard – The State of Missouri Iron Viz Finale
In this dashboard, I provide a comprehensive view of the key performance indicators related to employee attrition within a simulated organization. I include metrics on demographic factors such as gender, age, and race, as well as position-specific attrition rates and salary distribution, enabling Human Resources to analyze retention trends, identify critical factors contributing to turnover, and make data-driven decisions to improve employee retention.
This was my submission to the 2023 MO Iron Viz competition, in which I was selected as a finalist.
