biggest future changes in the workplace

Original source of the infographic

  1. Introduction of the graphics you choose

    2. This graphic shows the three biggest future changes in the workplace according to a survey conducted by Human Resources professionals.

  2. Why is this visualisation problematic/ confusing/ misleading?

    3. The three aspects in this pie chart cannot add up to 100 percent.

    Also, the graphics does not show what the percentage means. Is it the proportion of people who agree with the following statement?

    For pie charts, the essence lies in showing the proportion of different parts of a whole. But for this case, the percentage does not mean anything but the number of people.

  3. Further illustrations and calculations, if any, to justify your point, your suggestions or thoughts to improve

    4. From my point of view, a bar chart is better in illustrating the content instead of the pie chart. We can also list the three aspect from the high support rate to low support rate.

  4. Reference pointers

    5. Data Visualiztion – Pie Chart or Bar Chart?
