What is
a
Direct Labor Turnover Dashboard
? Employee turnover reports are considered workforce analysis tools and are used by human resource (HR) and plant managers to monitor key metrics for their direct labor teams. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard report is that it provides graphical workforce analysis of monthly trends as well as KPI benchmarking across plants. The three charts on the top shows: 1) Employee headcount trend, 2) Employee separations trend, 3) Employee turnover rate trend. The three charts on the bottom displays: 1) Employee headcount by plant, 2) Employee separations by plant, 3) Employee turnover rate by plant. At the bottom of the report (not visible in the example) you find a report with the figures used in the charts. You find an example of this type of dashboard report below.
