Metro staff unveil interactive Inclusivity dashboards to explore pay equity and department profiles
Summary
Dr. Muhammad demonstrated eight interactive dashboards that allow users to filter salary, pay-equity and department profile data by year and employment status; staff also announced a series of public presentations in early–mid May to share findings.
Dr. Muhammad presented the Inclusivity team's online dashboards to the Metro Human Relations Commission on May 5, saying the tools supplement the printed Inclusivity report and give users the ability to filter and compare data across years, departments and employment status.
"We have about eight dashboards," Dr. Muhammad said, walking commissioners through examples including salary by race, pay equity by race, department profiles and a county map that can show Davidson County-specific figures across multiple years. The dashboards allow users to select employment status (full-time/part-time), year, and department to tailor the visualizations.
Dr. Muhammad emphasized that the dashboards expose details not included in the printed report and allow staff and the public to investigate trends over time. Commissioners praised the work and noted the presenter had also completed graphic layout and event coordination in addition to research work.
Staff announced public presentations of the Inclusivity findings: May 6 at the Nashville Public Library Southeast Branch (6:00–7:30 p.m.), May 7 at the courthouse (4:00–6:00 p.m.), May 12 at the Madison Community Center (6:00–8:00 p.m.), and May 19 at the Inglewood Branch (6:00–7:30 p.m.). Dr. Muhammad invited commissioners to attend and asked any commissioner who did not receive event details to request them from staff.
The dashboards and the hard-copy report are available through the Commission's webpage; staff encouraged members and the public to use the filters to generate department-specific or year-specific views and to forward any follow-up questions to the office.
