Reports in Tellent HR turn your company’s data into clear, visual insights.
There are three ways to get started:
Start with a dashboard template — a ready-made set of workforce reports.
Add standard reports to a board — pre-built reports that give you quick insights into key employee and company data.
Create a custom dashboard — build your own reports with the metrics and fields you need.
For more details, check out our articles on Standard reports and How to create a report for your custom dashboard.
Important: To ensure accurate reporting, make sure all employees’ start dates are correctly set in their accounts. Missing dates can result in incomplete or inaccurate report data.
You can start with a dashboard template
Dashboard templates let you visualize workforce metrics instantly, without compiling data manually. Tellent HR includes three pre-built templates:
Workforce overview — a snapshot of your current headcount, historical growth trends, and departmental breakdowns.
Tenure & turnover — retention metrics such as average tenure, overall turnover, and new-hire turnover.
People & demographics — diversity metrics such as gender breakdown and average age over time.
Each template is a ready-made set of reports from the Reports library. To use one:
Go to Analytics and click New board.
In the Reports library, select the reports that belong to the template you want to use.
Click Add reports to board.
Tip: Use dashboard templates to spot turnover trends early and to support diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) reporting. |
Note: Add standard reports to a board. Standard reports are ready-made reports covering key employee and company data, so you don’t have to build them yourself. Add them to any board from the Reports library. See the full list in Standard reports.
You can create a custom dashboard
Beyond the templates, you can create a custom dashboard in Manage. In the Report builder, select a metric to measure and add fields to group or break down your data.
The Report builder includes the following metrics and fields:
Metrics
Employee age
Growth rate
Retention and turnover rate
New hire turnover
Headcount change and change over time
Individual Contributor (IC) to manager ratio
Average salary
Total salary
Fields
Age
Tenure
Employee type
