What’s Inside the HR Analytics Dashboard in Power BI
1. Overview Page
The Overview page gives decision-makers a high-level HR summary. Cards show Total Salary, Total Employees, Resigned Employees, Average Salary, and Average Engagement Score so leadership can quickly review workforce size, cost, exits, and engagement.
Total Employees by Month Name: This chart shows monthly workforce movement and helps HR leaders see where hiring or staffing volume changes over time. It is useful for spotting growth periods, seasonal shifts, or months that need closer review.
Attrition Rate: This visual summarizes employee turnover as a percentage. It helps managers understand resignation pressure and compare attrition movement after applying slicers.
Total Employees by Status: This chart splits employees by active, resigned, or other status values. It gives a quick workforce composition view for management meetings.
Total Salary by Location: This visual compares salary distribution by location. It supports payroll review, location-level budgeting, and regional workforce cost analysis.
2. Department
The Department page focuses on department-level workforce patterns. Attrition Rate by Month Name helps compare turnover movement across months. Total Salary by Designation shows role-level payroll concentration. Average Performance Rating by Department helps managers compare team performance and identify departments that may need support.
3. Attrition
The Attrition page is built for retention review. Total Employees by Recruitment Source shows where the workforce came from. Resigned Employees by Gender supports demographic turnover review. Attrition Rate by Location helps identify locations with higher resignation risk.
4. Recruitment
The Recruitment page connects hiring, salary, performance, and active employee distribution. Total Salary by Designation highlights payroll cost by role. Average Performance Rating by Month Name tracks performance movement. Active Employees by Location shows where the current workforce is concentrated.
5. Training
The Training page helps HR and L&D teams review employee engagement, department exits, and active employee status. Average Engagement Score by Month Name tracks engagement movement.
