Case Study: Walmart achieves faster, data-driven decisions with Tableau Software

Walmart Faster decisions with people analytics

Walmart’s Global People Analytics team in HR supports leaders and project owners around the world but was constrained by static Excel sheets and slow reporting. Leaders needed faster, more interactive ways to explore workforce and culture data, get answers in real time during brief touch‑base meetings, and roll out measurable initiatives on tight timelines.

The team adopted Tableau to create interactive dashboards that map culture dimensions, allow drill‑downs, and can be tweaked live in meetings. That shift enabled rapid discovery of insights, stronger data storytelling, faster decision‑making, broader leadership buy‑in, and widespread adoption across the company—from an early proof‑of‑concept to thousands of Tableau desktop users—improving how initiatives are measured and acted upon.
