HR Analytics 2026: How to Track Turnover, Hiring and Employee Effectiveness
HR directors spend hours gathering data from scattered spreadsheets, while the final turnover report is already outdated by the time of the meeting. 67% of Russian companies use no more than five metrics, even as the HR-tech market grows 15–20% per year in 2026. An HR analytics dashboard lets you see everything in real time — without a programmer or BI specialist.
Key facts
- 65% of companies face staff shortages with unemployment at just 2.3% — retention has become critical
- 70% of HR leaders track only payroll, turnover and headcount — that is not enough
- Manual HR report collection takes 2–4 hours per week per HR analyst
- SimpleDashboard compiles HR analytics from CSV/Excel in 5 minutes without implementing an HRM system
During rollout planning for simple dashboard, the recurring issue was not feature quantity but whether a buyer could verify limits, exports, integrations, and ownership before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is HR analytics and why does an HR director need it?
HR analytics is the collection and visualization of workforce data: turnover, hiring, headcount, effectiveness. It allows decisions based on numbers, not intuition.
Can I build an HR dashboard without an HRM system?
Yes. An export from 1C, Excel or Google Sheets is enough. The AI dashboard is built from any CSV/XLSX file without integrations or programming.
How is the turnover rate calculated in the dashboard?
Automatically: number of employees who left during the period divided by average headcount, multiplied by 100. You can specify a custom formula via chat if you use your own methodology.
Is it suitable for talent pool analytics?
Yes. Specify readiness statuses for your talent pipeline in chat — the dashboard will show who is ready for appointment, who is in preparation, and which key positions remain unfilled.
