Real-World Project: HR Analytics & Employee Retention Dashboard

Human Resources (HR) Analytics has become a vital strategic function in modern organizations. People leaders analyze employee turnover rates, track diversity & inclusion (D&I) metrics, monitor salary equity, and predict flight risk among top talent.

1. HR Metrics & Key Data Points

For this project, we analyze an enterprise workforce dataset:

  • EmployeeID, FullName, HireDate, TerminationDate
  • Department (Engineering, Sales, Marketing, HR, Finance)
  • JobRole, PerformanceRating (1 to 5), MonthlySalary
  • AttritionStatus ("Active" vs. "Terminated"), AttritionReason

2. Core HR DAX Formulations

DAX
-- 1. Total Headcount (Active Employees)
Active Headcount =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Dim_Employee),
Dim_Employee[AttritionStatus] = "Active"
)
 
-- 2. Total Terminations
Total Exits =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Dim_Employee),
Dim_Employee[AttritionStatus] = "Terminated"
)
 
-- 3. Monthly Attrition Rate %
-- Formula: (Total Exits during period) / (Average Headcount during period)
Attrition Rate % =
VAR Exits = [Total Exits]
VAR AvgHeadcount =
AVERAGEX(
VALUES(Dim_Date[YearMonth]),
[Active Headcount]
)
RETURN
DIVIDE(Exits, AvgHeadcount, 0)
 
-- 4. Average Tenure (Years)
Avg Tenure Years =
AVERAGEX(
Dim_Employee,
DATEDIFF(Dim_Employee[HireDate], COALESCE(Dim_Employee[TerminationDate], TODAY()), YEAR)
)
 
-- 5. Gender Diversity Ratio %
Female Headcount % =
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE([Active Headcount], Dim_Employee[Gender] = "Female"),
[Active Headcount],
0
)
