Start with management decisions
Identify management questions: how is headcount changing, where is turnover concentrated and which reports support Saudization monitoring? Select metrics linked to those questions instead of displaying all available data.
Align definitions and data sources
Document each metric’s definition, reporting period and data source. Distinguish active from historical records and align classifications across departments before comparing results.
Design for review and action
Assign an owner to each data source, an appropriate update cadence and a review process for unusual values. A dashboard is more useful when its results have context and clear follow-up responsibilities.
