The Brief

In this challenge, you'll step into the role of an HR data analyst working with a comprehensive dataset of over 497,000 detailed employee performance records. Your goal is to analyze workforce patterns and uncover actionable insights that HR teams and business leaders can use to improve employee satisfaction, optimize performance, and enhance organizational effectiveness.

The dataset you'll explore resembles a professional HR management system, and includes attributes and metrics such as:

  • Employee demographics, education level, job roles, and organizational hierarchy
  • Performance ratings, training hours, overtime, absenteeism, and engagement metrics
  • Compensation data including salaries, bonuses, and benefits costs
  • Manager relationships, promotion flags, and career progression indicators
  • Store locations, departments, employment types, and business outcomes
  • Monthly performance tracking across 3 years (2022-2024)
  • Role-specific KPIs, productivity indices, and customer satisfaction scores

Your task is to analyze this comprehensive dataset to help organizations identify top-performing employees and departments, evaluate compensation effectiveness, assess manager performance and team dynamics, discover patterns in employee satisfaction and retention, and provide recommendations to improve workforce productivity and organizational culture.

Dig into the data, identify key insights, and help organizations prioritize employee development, optimize compensation strategies, and maintain high-performance standards.

Judging criteria

Business users use reports to make data-driven decisions. That’s why reports are called effective if they enable users to drill down and filter data quickly and intuitively to find answers to any question they might have, and analyse data in all possible directions and dimensions.

Each report is evaluated based on three main criteria: intuitiveness, insightfulness, and interactivity. These factors ensure that the reports are not only accurate and functional, but also meet the target audience's needs and are ready to be presented to the end-users. 


  1. Intuitive: How clear and easy it is to understand the report at a glance? (max 15 points)
    • Is the report visually appealing?
    • Choice of charts and visual elements
    • Does the report tell a story?
    • Is it not overwhelming to the user?
    • Choice of tooltips, titles, and legends

  2. Interactive: How engaging and seamless is the report exploration and interaction with data? (max 15 points)
    • Clear navigation that allows user to explore the report
    • Use of slicers and other interactive elements
    • Smooth cross-chart integration
    • Is report optimized for touch devices?
    • Are tutorials and guiding elements helpful to the user?

  3. Insightful: How accurate, complete, and meaningful is the data in driving decisions? (max 15 points)
    • Depth of analysis
    • Data cleaning and preparation
    • Does data show up accurately in the report?
    • Is report optimized for quicker loading time?
    • Does the report provide deeper exploration of data (drill-down)?
