The dashboard for HR metrics in an organization must evolve over time. However, there are some core data requirements such as the overall manpower position, grade-wise composition, age profile, and the number of employees due for retirement in the current month, so far in the year, and total retirement due. Additionally, it should include total inductions proposed during the year and the current month, recruitment status in terms of positions planned for the year as well as those in progress, and details like position-wise number of applications received, number eligible, induction test dates and venue, compensation cost, wage components, incentives paid, efficiency parameters, etc. Training and development activities for the year and the month, statutory compliance status, KRAs and KRIs, etc., are also essential. Once you start with the almost always needed data, you can embellish it according to your real requirements.
