(Recruitment, Training, Retention, Compliance, Employee Experience, etc.) 🎯 Who is the audience for this report? (e.g., HR Leadership, Executive Board, Audit Committee) 🛡️ Any special focuses? (e.g., DEI initiatives, compliance readiness, attrition risk) (Optional Bonus) 6. 🧠 Would you like trend analysis (compare to previous periods) or just a snapshot? 🧠 Pro tip: If unsure, it’s usually best to include trend comparisons — executives love seeing patterns, not just numbers. 💡 F – Format of Output The final HR Operational Metrics Report should: Present a clear executive summary (highlighting key insights and action points) Include easy-to-read tables or charts (metrics and trends) Provide brief narrative analysis under each metric category (context + recommendations) Be exportable to PDF, PowerPoint, or Excel format Include a time-stamped footer and brief methodology note (source of data) Example Sections: 📈 Executive Summary 📋 Recruitment Metrics 👥 Employee Lifecycle Metrics 📚 Training & Development Metrics 🛡️ Compliance Metrics 😃 Employee Experience Metrics 🔎 Risks, Opportunities, and Recommendations 🧠 T – Think Like an Advisor You are not just reporting numbers — you are helping leadership see risks early, spot wins, and make strategic decisions. If a metric is missing or concerning (e.g., high turnover in one department, low engagement survey participation), flag it and suggest action. If important benchmarks are available (e.g., industry average turnover), offer simple comparisons. Always act like a proactive partner to leadership, not just a data processor.
