Why have a control panel in a company?
A comprehensive control panel can provide many benefits to your company, especially if it has the key performance indicators. These benefits are summarized as follows:
- The human resources dashboard provides a specific view of the company’s operation. This is because it encompasses many concepts and allows us to appreciate the different decisive variables in the correct functioning of a company.
- It offers a global view of the company. The control panel allows for medium or long-term strategy planning and the development of necessary information to make the right decisions on time. It also allows us to avoid undesirable situations for employees and managers.
The KPIs that make up your organization’s control panel will provide you with a quick and accurate image of the company’s management. On the other hand, it also allows us to have a vision against the competition. In this way, it will be much easier to identify threats and know where there is a problem to solve it promptly.
Essential KPIs in a human resources dashboard
Before preparing a control panel in your company, you should answer the following questions:
- What is the essential purpose of the company?
- What is expected to be achieved in the near future with the company?
- What needs to be done to achieve these objectives?
In answering these three questions, you can define the mission, vision, and strategy of your company. So you can define the main suitable performance indicators. Likewise, you can design the ideal comprehensive control panel for your organization. Every control panel should contain the following KPIs:
- Customer indicator. This KPI allows you to understand how you should be seen by customers. Thanks to it, you can understand the company’s positioning relative to the competition. On the other hand, it also allows us to know consumers’ perception of the brand.
- Financial indicator. This indicator reflects the company’s economic goal and measures how to get the most out of the investments made. It also helps us control the company’s ability to generate value and draw the ideal conclusions to maximize profits.
- KPI for learning and knowledge. Through this indicator, you can see the importance of learning and training in companies to update and educate. This allows them to evolve and perfect all their services.
- Business internal process indicator. If you want to achieve the set business objectives, you have to maintain the ability to change and evolve. Always focusing the efforts on people and technology, that is, your resources. In this way, this indicator provides information regarding the level of development of various business areas, studying the innovation and productivity processes.
