Employee Tenure in a Sorted Bar Chart

We have created various tenure bands like 0-3 years, 3-5 years, 5-7 years and 7+ years and then grouped employees accordingly.

The user selects the required department. The Bar Chart will dynamically update in descending order. The tenure band having the highest number of employees will be displayed at the top. The respective employee count and percentage will also be shown.

Employee Quarter Wise Headcount Using Option Charts

In a particular group of option buttons , only one of the option can be selected.

For E.g :  In Gender , we can select either Male or Female.

In our example, we are using the employee headcount for a year.

Upon selecting the required quarter, the data for that particular quarter is highlighted.

When we select All option, all the quarters are shown in the same colour.

 

 

Introduction – Variance Analysis

Variance analysis refers to a difference between two values. The deviation may favorable or unfavorable as under:

Variance is generally calculated as per below parameters

The time period for measuring deviation can be as under:

  • Current Month vs Previous Month
  • Current Year vs Previous Year
  • First Quarter vs Second Quarter

Variance Reports are made to find out the % increase or decrease for Profit, Revenue, Cost Expenses, Attrition, Manpower Count, Salary, Recruitment Cost etc.

Waterfall Chart – Employee Head Count.

A waterfall chart is generally used to display how the starting position and an ending point which are connected by a series of values (either increases or decreases). By a series of changes from the start value and through all the connecting intermediate increasing/decreasing values we arrive at the end point.

A waterfall chart is also called a bridge chart since the floating in between columns between the start value and the end value form a pseudo bridge.

We display the employee headcount in a monthly basis (increase /decrease) basis the new joinee and resignees in a month.

We start with the opening count of the year. The opening count are those employees who are on active payroll of the company at the start of the assessment year.

For E.g : Assessment year ( 01 Jan 2016 to 31 Dec 2016)

The opening count for 01 Jan 2016 will be the closing count as on 31 Dec 2015.

Then we show the net employee count for each month basis the employee joining or leaving . This is shown till Dec and then we display the closing count for Dec 2016.

In below example the opening count at the start of the year is 500. Throughout the year in each month we have certain number of joinees and resignees. Due to the same we may have an increase or a dercrease in the net employee count . At the end of the year the closing employee count is 509.We can see that in Jan there was a employee count decrease of 2 . So it means number of employees reduced from 500 to 498.

In Feb then there was a increase of 4. So employee count increased from 498 to 502. Continuing the calculations at the end of the year we have a closing count of 509.

Opening Count + Monthly Increase/Decrease) = Closing Count

500 + (-2+4+4+3+2+3-3-1-1-4-1+5) = 509

Attrition % in a Bullet Chart

Bullet Charts is a variation of the bar chart developed by Stephen Few.

They are emerging as a strong alternative to Gauge Charts. It is used for analyzing whether a parameter score is poor, average, good or excellent. One can use it for determine employee engagement score, actual vs target, HR audit score etc.

For e.g

  • 0 – 30% = Poor
  • 31% -50% = Average
  • 51%-70% = Good
  • 71%-100% = Excellent

One must base the scales depending on requirement.

If you are measuring a performance score then a 75 % score is excellent. However if you measuring employee attrition then a score of 75% is very negative. Here your scales will be reversed where 0-30% will be a fair score. Therefore user must determine how the parameter would be measured.

Bullet charts in addition to the scales have an actual achievement and a target parameter associated with it.

However in our attrition chart we are using only the actual parameter to see in which scale our attrition percent lies.

Attrition – Using Gauge Chart

In our example, we have the data for attrition percent for certain years.

The chart has a combo box which has all our available years in a drop down.

In our Gauge chart we have three sections denoting three levels of attrition, Low, Moderate, and High.

Upon selecting the required year, the attrition % for that year is denoted by an indicator. The indicator points to the appropriate section of the Gauge Chart.
