Read the executive dashboard

The executive dashboard puts the headline numbers about your workforce on one screen — how many people you have, who might leave, where capability is short, and whether company goals are on track. It is a reading screen: nothing on it changes anything, and every panel links through to the analysis it summarises.

Required role: Administrator.

  1. Go to Performance → Insights → Executive.
  2. Read the four figures across the top, then the Risk summary strip beneath them.
  3. Read the six panels below.
  4. Select Details on any panel to open the full analysis behind it.
The Executive Dashboard with total employees, average readiness, open opportunities and active feedback cycles across the top, a risk summary strip beneath them, and panels for readiness distribution, headcount by department, the eNPS trend, and payroll cost reported in each entity own currency.
OptionDescription
Total EmployeesHeadcount for the company.
Avg ReadinessAverage readiness score across employees who have been scored against a target role.
Open OpportunitiesInternal opportunities currently open.
Active Feedback CyclesFeedback cycles currently running.

A figure shows when there is nothing to report rather than showing zero, so a dash means no data, not a value of nought.

The strip counts employees by flight-risk level — Low, Medium, High, Critical — and closes with Total assessed and High + critical.

Read Total assessed first. Flight-risk levels are only counted for employees who have a score, so the four counts describe the assessed population and not your whole workforce.

Example: if 60 people at HC Corp UK Ltd have been scored and 6 of them are high or critical, the strip shows 6 out of 60. It does not tell you anything about anyone who has never been scored.

Where no scores exist at all, the strip says so and links you to the flight-risk screen to generate them.

The six panels, and where each number comes from

Section titled “The six panels, and where each number comes from”

This is the part worth knowing before you quote anything off this screen. The panels do not all read from the same place, and two of them are as at a point in time rather than as at now.

OptionDescription
Readiness distributionEmployees by readiness category, with the average in the centre. Read from the latest company workforce snapshot, not from live scores.
Headcount by departmentA live count of employees per department.
Employee eNPS trendThe engagement score over recent survey history.
Payroll cost by entityYear-to-date gross from finalised payroll, one line per legal entity, each in that entity’s own currency. Labelled on screen as Year-to-date · native currency.
Top skill gapsThe five largest company-wide skill gaps, counted as employees below the required level.
Company OKR healthCompany goals counted as On track, At risk, and Behind, with the most recent few listed.

Example: at HC Corp, Headcount by department shows Engineering as it stands today. Readiness distribution shows the position as at the last snapshot — if that snapshot was taken in March, it still describes March, however many people joined since.

If Readiness distribution is empty while the readiness matrix has scores in it, the cause is that no company snapshot has been generated. Generate one and the panel populates.

Payroll cost by entity lists each legal entity separately in its own currency. There is no combined total, because no exchange rate is applied anywhere in Humavera.

Example: HC Corp’s four entities appear as four lines — GBP, USD, XOF, and EGP — never as one. Adding them together is a decision for your finance team, at a rate they choose.

Each panel loads on its own. One panel showing an empty or error state does not mean the rest of the screen is wrong — read the others normally and follow the link on the failing one to see what is missing underneath it.

Nothing on this screen is a decision. Each panel is a pointer: a rising high-and-critical count is a reason to open flight risk and read the indicators behind individual scores; a large skill gap is a reason to open gap analysis and see whether it is one person or a whole team; a goal marked behind is a conversation with its owner. If you intend to compare this position against a later one, generate a workforce snapshot now, because a comparison needs two fixed points.
