Human Resources Case Studies

  • Workforce Planning Forecast
    Evaluated hiring and attrition trends to support forward-looking workforce planning across departments. Results showed uneven headcount dynamics, with net declines in several functions driven by higher exits than hires, highlighting areas of potential capacity risk and the need for proactive planning.
  • Engagement Driver Analysis
    Analyzed employee engagement across departments, tenure groups, and job levels to identify where engagement risk is highest. Results showed that manager effectiveness and work-life balance are the strongest drivers of engagement, with lower engagement strongly associated with higher attrition risk.
  • Compensation Equity Analysis
    Examined role-level compensation data to assess gender pay equity across the organization. Findings showed that pay gaps vary by role—some favoring female employees and others favoring male employees—highlighting the importance of ongoing, role-specific pay audits rather than relying on company-wide averages.
  • Recruiting Funnel Optimization
    Assessed the recruiting funnel to identify where candidates drop out and what drives delays in time-to-hire. Results showed that bottlenecks are concentrated early in the funnel—between application and phone screening—indicating that screening capacity and prioritization, not interviews, drive overall hiring delays.
  • Employee Turnover Analysis
    Investigated organizational turnover patterns to assess whether attrition was driven by individual employee factors or structural dynamics. Results showed elevated turnover concentrated in specific departments—particularly Customer Support—indicating role- and function-level drivers rather than individual dissatisfaction.
  • Tableau Interactive Dashboard
    Developed an interactive Tableau dashboard to analyze store-level sales performance and identify the most profitable locations over time. The dashboard enables stakeholders to compare total sales by store, monitor sales trends, and explore cost drivers to support data-informed performance and operational decisions.

Portfolio Overview

I’m an HR-focused People Analytics professional with hands-on experience using data to answer real workforce questions—why people leave, how hiring funnels perform, where engagement breaks down, and how HR decisions impact business outcomes. My background combines HR operations knowledge with analytical skills, allowing me to translate messy people data into clear, actionable insights for leaders. I approach analytics with a practical mindset: the goal is not dashboards for their own sake, but better decisions that improve employee experience and organizational performance.

This portfolio showcases end-to-end People Analytics projects that mirror real HR use cases, including turnover analysis, recruiting funnel optimization, compensation equity reviews, engagement driver analysis, and workforce planning forecasts. Across these projects, I demonstrate the full analytics lifecycle—problem framing, stakeholder-relevant metrics, data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and executive-ready storytelling. The tools used include spreadsheets, SQL, and visualization platforms, with an emphasis on clarity, accuracy, and HR relevance over technical flash.

My career focus is on growing into a strategic People Analytics role where data informs fairer pay practices, stronger hiring decisions, and healthier teams. I bring a strong foundation in HR principles, continuous learning through formal certifications, and a bias toward ethical, responsible use of employee data. This portfolio is designed to show not only what I can analyze, but how I think as an HR partner who uses analytics to support people and the business together.
