As Jess Amat noted, "Data analysis and data science are becoming a part of every business," highlighting the vital role of analytics in HR.

Exploring Employee Attrition

Understanding employee attrition is necessary for any organization, as it directly affects the workforce's stability and productivity. In this webinar, the discussion is about using Power BI to analyze why employees leave the organization and what factors contribute to high turnover. "By having more visibility, the HR team can use this data to create initiatives on reducing attrition," mentions the speaker. The analysis involves creating metrics like total employees, active employees, and the attrition rate, enabling HR to identify issues and potential remedies to improve employee retention.

Visualizing Demographic and Diversity Data

Diversity and equality are important aspects of a modern organization, and HR analytics can provide insights into these areas. Using Power BI, the webinar demonstrates how to visualize demographic data, such as ethnicity and job roles, to assess diversity metrics. Tree maps and line charts are used to show hierarchical views and time series data, respectively. This visualization helps HR departments to better understand the composition of their workforce and address any disparities. As the instructor points out, "Tree maps are good for showing hierarchical views of our data and can easily show relative sizes of the different categories," providing a clearer picture of the organization's diversity structure.

The session provides hands-on training in Power BI, demonstrating how to load datasets, create data models, and visualize data effectively. The practical approach of the webinar ensures that participants can apply these skills to real-world HR scenarios. Power BI's capabilities, such as creating measures, using DAX functions, and building interactive dashboards, are covered in detail. Jess Amat emphasizes that "becoming familiar and comfortable with working with Power BI in an interview scenario" is a key learning objective, highlighting the importance of technical skills in HR analytics.
