Case Study: Work Performance Dashboard

"At-a-glance" view of how teams are doing when it comes to meeting performance goals for project delivered(the what), work time efficiency(the how) and client feedback(the results).

Digital Industry (Private Company)

  • Industry: IT Consultant
  • Size: 30+
  • Release Year: 2008
  • Company: Digital Industry
A small growing company needs an easy way to track key performance indicators like average employee tenure, employee by department, salary, rating, and status, to improve recruiting, optimize workplace management, and enhance employee performance.

Project Requirements

  • Aggregate and analyze employee check-ins to monitor progress on client projects.
  • Easily combine and analyze data from all people analytics systems and apps: HCM, payroll, compliance, recruiting, learning, LOB and more.
  • Set up the work performance dashboard to be automatically shared with key stakeholders on a regular basis.

Project Overview

A work performance business intelligence tool that allows management to track, analyze, and report on work KPIs, like time spent on projects, attendance, feedback, and rank/ratings. The interactive dashboard should combine data from multiple data sources, to empower users to quickly explore and analyze data.

The Challenge

As we decided to use Qlik as the tool to build the dashboard. I was unfamiliar with its capabilities and the way it worked, I had to upskill within 1 month to deliver the dashboard to the client in 3 months.

The Approach & Solution

It took about 1 month to upskill in Qlik technology as it was a relatively new, and one-of-a-kind business intelligence platform at the time, around 2007-2008. I used online blogs and videos and I spent time after my classes in college to learn, to build the dashboard for the client. Once I was ready to build, I quickly pulled data from different data sources from the client's HR systems like timesheets, payments, and the CRM where they stored client project details. We built the data model using Qlik's scripting language, which was similar to PL/SQL or Advanced SQL.
