Inspiration

  • Employee well-being is directly tied to organizational success, yet HR teams often struggle to identify burnout, absenteeism, and productivity risks early enough. We wanted to create a solution that turns HR data into actionable insights so companies can support their people before problems escalate.

What it does

Our Tableau Next dashboard integrates HR and Salesforce data to:

  • Monitor satisfaction, absenteeism, and productivity trends by department.
  • Identify burnout risks through combined health and performance signals.
  • Track turnover rates and highlight at-risk teams.
  • Send proactive Slack alerts when teams cross risk thresholds, enabling managers to act quickly.

How we built it

  • Designed a structured dataset simulating employee health and productivity trends.
  • Loaded data into Tableau Next and created calculated metrics for absenteeism, productivity, and turnover.
  • Built interactive dashboards: KPIs, trend lines, absenteeism heatmaps, and turnover charts.
  • Integrated Slack alerts for real-time risk notifications using Salesforce connectors.

Challenges we ran into

  • Balancing multiple metrics (satisfaction, absenteeism, productivity, turnover) without overwhelming the dashboard.
  • Designing thresholds for meaningful Slack alerts that avoid false positives.
  • Data modeling — ensuring employee-level data could be aggregated into department-level insights.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a clean, efficient, and actionable Tableau Next dashboard in limited time.
  • Created a workflow where HR can identify risks and receive real-time alerts.
  • Showcased how analytics can improve not just revenue, but employee well-being and retention.

What we learned

  • How to leverage Tableau Next on the Salesforce platform for workforce analytics.
  • The power of integrating analytics with collaboration tools like Slack for faster action.
  • The importance of balancing data visualization simplicity with depth of insights.

What's next for Employee Well-Being & Productivity Insights - duyhandsome

  • Incorporating predictive modeling to forecast burnout and turnover before they happen.
  • Expanding integration with HR platforms (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors) for real-world deployments.
  • Adding anonymized employee sentiment analysis from surveys or Slack messages.
  • Deploying dashboards across organizations to promote healthier, more productive workplaces.
