Formula Used

Metric	Formula	Purpose
Average Headcount	(Starting Headcount + Ending Headcount) / 2	Creates a balanced population baseline.
Retention Rate	((Starting Headcount - Total Exits) / Starting Headcount) × 100	Shows how many employees stayed through the period.
Turnover Rate	(Total Exits / Average Headcount) × 100	Measures workforce separation pressure.
Absence Rate	(Absent Days / Available Workdays) × 100	Tracks attendance loss against scheduled capacity.
Productivity Index	(Actual Output / Target Output) × 100	Compares achieved work against target performance.
Performance Index	(Average Performance Rating / 5) × 100	Converts rating scale into a percentage view.
Hiring Efficiency	(Target Time to Fill / Actual Time to Fill) × 100	Rewards faster hiring against hiring goals.
Overtime Rate	(Overtime Hours / Total Hours Worked) × 100	Shows extra workload strain on teams.
Diversity Hiring Rate	(Diverse Hires / New Hires) × 100	Monitors inclusive hiring progress.
Composite Dashboard Score	Weighted KPI score using retention, turnover, absence, productivity, engagement, training, performance, hiring, overtime, and diversity inputs	Summarizes overall workforce performance in one number.

Composite weights used: retention 15%, turnover 10%, absence 10%, productivity 15%, engagement 15%, training 10%, performance 10%, hiring 10%, overtime 3%, diversity 2%.

FAQs

1) What does the dashboard score represent?

It is a weighted summary of retention, turnover, absence, productivity, engagement, training, performance, hiring speed, overtime, and diversity hiring. Higher scores generally indicate stronger workforce health and lower people risk for the selected period.

2) Why are both retention and turnover included?

They describe different sides of workforce movement. Retention focuses on employees who stayed, while turnover highlights exits against average headcount. Viewing both gives a more balanced picture of employee stability.

3) Can I use this dashboard for one department?

Yes. The calculator works for a department, region, business unit, or full company. Just keep all inputs from the same group and reporting period so the results remain comparable.

4) What should count as available workdays?

Use the total scheduled workdays for the population being measured. Many teams calculate this as employee count multiplied by scheduled workdays during the reporting period.

5) How should I define actual output?

Use one consistent unit tied to your team’s goals, such as tickets closed, sales completed, cases processed, or projects delivered. The target should use the same unit.

6) Why is overtime scored in reverse?

Sustained overtime often signals coverage pressure, process inefficiency, or burnout risk. The reverse scoring helps the dashboard reward healthier workload distribution and staffing balance.

7) What is a good hiring efficiency result?

A value near or above 100% means actual hiring speed meets or beats your target. Lower values suggest slower recruiting performance and possible bottlenecks in sourcing or approvals.

8) Can I customize the weights later?

Yes. You can edit the weight values in the composite score section to match your reporting priorities. Many organizations increase engagement, retention, or hiring weights based on strategy.
