An HR Dashboard is a visual display of HR metrics. An HR Dashboard can be designed in different ways and used for different things, but its primary purpose is to publish important HR metrics relatively quickly, at a reasonably high level. It is a good way to gather information from the staff, sort it, analyze it, and repackage it for the consumption of management and the executive teams of organizations. It is also a good way to communicate with staff on a regular basis and keep the organization’s finger to the proverbial pulse of the organization.  Employers should ascertain what works well for their organizations and what measurements they feel are critical and HR should summarize those metrics and post them for all staff, especially the organization’s decision makers.
