Importing the two datasets

To do analytics with HR data, you frequently need to merge or join together data from different data sources. In this chapter, you'll start with some base HR data and join it with performance rating data to allow you to test some hypotheses about performance ratings differences between groups.

Before doing that, take a moment to examine the two datasets you'll be working with for this chapter.
