Leveraging Interactive Visualisation Using Tableau for Effective Human Resources Management

Abstract

Interactive visualisation tools like Tableau have revolutionised human resources data analysis, moving beyond static reports to dynamic dashboards that reveal meaningful information and enhance decision-making through clear and engaging manner. This paper aims to deliver insightful and interactive visualisations on the curiosities of employee profiling, factors influencing employee turnover, and effective recruitment sources. A sample of 113 employees was analysed, incorporating various demographic variables such as gender, marital status, citizenship status, race, and state, along with position, salary, employment status, department, tenure, hire and termination years, special projects received, recruitment sources, reasons for termination, employee satisfaction, performance scores, lateness, and absences. Kirk’s framework was applied, and Tableau Software was utilised to create visualisations that offer deeper insights and address key areas of interest regarding curiosities. The findings reveal that the majority of employees are active, single, employed in the production department, and hold United States (US) citizenship. Additionally, factors such as employee satisfaction, performance, absenteeism, and tardiness contribute to employee turnover. Finally, it emerged as the leading platform for recruitment sources.
