Types of Employee Performance Dashboards
Not every dashboard is the same, and you've got options when it comes to usability and data complexity.
1. Excel Dashboard
Straightforward and user-friendly, an Excel dashboard does the job without breaking the bank. You can quickly create a spreadsheet with columns for names, roles, tasks, completion rates, and hours worked. Add some simple formatting to your new best friend, and you're all set! While the data won't update automatically, it's simple to build, easy to share, and perfect for teams just starting out.
2. Power BI Dashboard
Power BI takes data visualization to the next level. This Microsoft tool is great if you have time to tinker or have someone on your team who's into it. Power BI is super connected—you can pull data directly from time tracking tools, project management platforms, or other apps, and it'll update in real-time. If you prefer a more interactive dashboard, Power BI is the way to go, but note that there is a learning curve involved.
3. Pre-built Templates & Tools
Why reinvent the wheel, right? Pre-built templates make it simple to get started without building from scratch. Many templates are already set up to track performance metrics like task completion, time worked, and other useful insights. Just plug in your data, and you're well on your way to managing your team like a boss.
