People Analytics Dashboard

This case explores how a compensation dashboard can move teams from manual spreadsheet checking to a clearer, shared decision view during annual salary and bonus cycles.

People analytics project cover

Background

The project started from a practical problem: compensation review was taking too long because inputs were spread across multiple files and regional cuts.

Managers had data, but not a single view that was easy to interpret in calibration discussions.

The Question

How can compensation data be structured so HRBP and managers can quickly understand pay positioning, progression, and potential fairness risks before decisions are finalized?

Method

ProblemManual cross-checking across regions slowed review readiness and reduced decision confidence.
ActionDesigned a Tableau dashboard with filters, pay-positioning views, progression cuts, and drill-down details.
OutcomeImproved transparency and faster alignment between HR, managers, and business stakeholders.

What The Dashboard Enables

Pay PositioningIdentify below/within/above-range populations quickly for review prioritization.
Segment FiltersCut the data by level, location, function, and track for targeted manager conversations.
Progression ReadCompare salary and bonus changes year-over-year with fewer manual steps.
Detail on DemandPoint-level details support concrete calibration and exception discussions.

Key Insights

  • Visualization reduced dependency on spreadsheet stitching during cycle prep.
  • One shared view improved consistency in manager-facing compensation narratives.
  • Outliers became easier to isolate and discuss with evidence, not assumptions.

Practical Next Steps

In a production C&B setup, the next iteration would focus on governance and repeatability.

  • Standardize refresh process and ownership by cycle phase.
  • Add stronger exception logging and approval traceability.
  • Expand dashboard views for additional job families.
