Exploring HR Analytics with WebDataRocks and Highcharts

HR analytics is always on the hunt for clean, simple visualizations. You’re dealing with complex, fragmented data from multiple systems that needs to be two things at once: a high-level summary for leadership and a granular, actionable view for managers. That’s why WebDataRocks pivot table with Highcharts integration is such a perfect match. It bridges the gap between complex data structures and clean, intuitive visuals, letting you pivot from the big picture to deep-dive details in a few clicks.

Data We Use

This dataset is a comprehensive mix of demographic, financial, and performance metrics designed to provide a 360-degree view of a workforce. It balances individual identifiers (such as Job Title and Country) with critical KPIs, including Revenue per Employee and Turnover Rate, making it ideal for identifying correlations among compensation, engagement, and productivity.

Here’s a sample data entry from the dataset:

{
  "id": 7,
  "Full Name": "Doralia Scedall",
  "Job Title": "Geological Engineer",
  "Country": "Spain",
  "Department": "Human Resources",
  "Month Salary": 3900,
  "Employee Engagement": 0.8,
  "Overtime Hours": 12,
  "Age Group": ">70",
  "Turnover Rate": 0.31
}

HR Analytics Dashboard 

Pivot Grids

We use a pivot grid as the core of our dashboard. All the data is already there; you can play around with the slice to show only what you need, and sort or filter the data as needed.

GENERAL DATA PIVOT

Edit in CodePen

WebDataRocks’ grid gives you the flexibility to customize the cells and even include icons representing, for example, engagement or performance levels. This way, important information is immediately visible.

SALARY RANGES BY DEPARTMENTS

You can visualize the minimum, maximum, and average salary for each department. Conditional formatting helps highlight outliers and identify unusual values or patterns.

Moreover, by integrating WebDataRocks with charting libraries you can get even more powerful insights.

Bar Charts


For this dashboard, we chose Highcharts because we already have a ready-made connector, which makes implementation easy. All the charts pull their data directly from our pivot grid, so any filtering, sorting, or slicing done there is automatically reflected in the charts.

This way, you can focus on visualizing exactly what you need without having to handle the raw data separately.

With bar charts, you can visualize core metrics by department, such as average overtime or training costs. It allows you to quickly compare different teams or roles side by side and spot trends.

Pie Charts

Pie charts show how a whole breaks down into different groups, such as employees by gender or the top countries where your staff work. Each slice clearly represents a group’s size, making it easy to compare categories at a glance.

Area Charts

Area charts display trends over time, such as hiring growth or workload changes across weeks, months, or even years. By filling the space under the line, area charts make it easy to see patterns.
