Creating Visual HR Dashboards
Dashboards are powerful tools that bring together multiple data visualizations into a single, easy-to-read interface. In HR, dashboards help you monitor workforce trends, track key metrics, and quickly communicate insights to stakeholders. A well-designed HR dashboard might include charts on employee turnover, department sizes, diversity, or satisfaction scores. The key elements of an effective HR dashboard are clarity, relevance, and the ability to compare related information at a glance.

To display several charts in a single dashboard, you use subplotting. Subplotting lets you arrange multiple charts in one figure, making it easy to compare different HR metrics side by side. The subplots function in matplotlib creates a grid of axes, so you can place each chart in its own panel and control their layout. This approach is especially useful for HR analytics, where you might want to show turnover, department sizes, and diversity metrics together for a comprehensive overview.
