Data visualization—defined as representing quantitative variables through visual properties such as position, length, area and color—is an immensely powerful technique for exploring and communicating information. To a degree far beyond traditional text or number-based formats, well-designed visualizations make data accessible, clear, enticing and engaging to business audiences. Yet, despite the recent surge in visualization’s use, many HR professionals aren’t proficient in these compelling approaches. Thus, they miss golden opportunities to expand their influence and audience reach.
