Employee leave directly impacts productivity, workforce availability, and operational costs. Yet many organizations still track leave using manual registers or disconnected spreadsheets. This makes it difficult to identify unplanned leaves, control costs, or plan resources effectively.
The Leave Performance Analytics Dashboard in Google Sheets is a ready-to-use, cloud-based analytics solution designed to help HR teams and managers monitor, analyze, and optimize employee leave data in real time. Instead of spending hours compiling reports, you instantly gain clear insights into leave trends, costs, durations, and employee behavior — all from one interactive dashboard.
Built entirely in Google Sheets, this dashboard combines simplicity, collaboration, and powerful analytics, making leave management smarter and faster.
