- Interpretation: What’s the data saying? First questions that come to mind…
- What makes someone an essential employee?
- Only a few employees have minimal feedback, why?
- The story I make about the employees is that most of the departments were all hired for within the same month. Why is that? I also see that management didn’t get any bonuses, but all other employees did. Yes they have a higher salary, but wouldn’t they get a bonus for good performance too?
- Analysis: The data provided helps me to understand where our money is going.
- Quantitatively speaking, its showing me a lot of bonuses were given out with not a lot of reason why behind it. Qualitatively, not a lot. I cant measure someone’s work performance based off of minimal to no feed back. “TRYING HARD” is not useful in respect to the data.
- This data is not telling me anything about what theses people do, if the departments are even running productively, why did these people receive bonuses or why did they take so much over time.
- I would need to see the inner workings of each department, I cant make any decisions based off of just seeing the salary, bonus, and over time spreadsheet. This does not show me how employees preform, the data does not show a correlation between performance and salary.
- I also see that employees with a 1 score are still receiving a 2000 bonus
- A primary source I would use would be speaking to direct supervisors in order to get some more details on reports for individual performance. Secondary source would be the looking into possibly production reports.
- Conclusion and related outcomes: Describe how you have used data to determine a strategy. Use evidence to support your explanations.
- I think one of the first things to look at would be the overtime, make the necessary decision to cut that for starters.
- After looking at the data, perhaps reassessing what qualifies someone to receive a bonus. Its never an easy decision to just cut someone from receiving a bonus, but if your performance is poor then a new standard needs to be implemented in order to receive said bonus.
