Performance Management Dashboard in Power BI gives HR teams, managers, and business leaders a 5-page Power BI report for reviewing training hours, tasks assigned, actual score, target score, completed reviews, coaching rate, goal attainment, performance rating, priority, and review-cycle trends. Instead of paying monthly HR software fees before you are ready, you get a one-time $17.99 downloadable .pbix file with sample data, slicers, and visual pages already built. Built by PK for a 300K+ subscriber learning audience, this dashboard is designed for practical review meetings, not generic chart decoration.
