The Story#

Modern organizations generate vast amounts of workforce data — but without clear insights, it’s just numbers.

This project transforms raw HR data into an executive dashboard that answers critical questions:

Who is at risk of leaving, who is ready for promotion, and where should HR focus next?

The dashboard provides a 360° view of the workforce, helping leaders understand employee distribution, satisfaction, promotions, layoffs, and departmental trends.
