From employee survey to HR dashboard — with no tool switching

HR data usually comes from many sources: surveys in one tool, prep in SPSS, charts in Excel, the cockpit in PowerPoint. DataLion unites that chain in one platform — each step builds on the previous one, with no export and no media break.

Here is the continuous flow from the survey to the finished HR dashboard — each step has its own page with the full detail:

  • Survey software: pulse & employee surveys with 20+ question types — answers become SPSS variables automatically.
  • Data import & integration: HR master and panel data from SPSS incl. labels, CSV, Excel, ASCII and databases.
  • Data preparation: weight, clean, recode and analyze open-ended responses — directly on the dataset.
  • Analysis & statistics: 20+ procedures on an R engine incl. driver and significance analyses.
  • Dashboard software: interactive HR cockpits and reports in one click.

What is an HR dashboard?

An HR dashboard is an interactive cockpit that brings the most important people metrics into one place and presents them graphically. Instead of hunting figures across scattered systems, you get headcount, attrition, recruiting and engagement at a glance — and drill down into the detail.

That is how you answer the questions that matter in People & Culture: which channels recruit most successfully? How high is employee satisfaction, and which measures lift engagement? Which high potentials should you nurture to reduce attrition?

  • All HR metrics in one cockpit instead of scattered systems
  • Graphical representation with deep dives for richer insight
  • Answers to concrete people-analytics questions
  • Built by drag & drop — with no programming

From the same data you build your HR dashboard in a few clicks. That is how you measure eNPS, satisfaction and engagement and track them across flexible time series — wave after wave. More on the survey software.

Visualize engagement, attrition & recruiting

DataLion combines subjective (soft) and objective (hard) metrics in one cockpit. Soft KPIs like satisfaction, eNPS, work-life balance, engagement, employer attractiveness and diversity come from your surveys — hard KPIs like headcount, absence, turnover rate, open positions, time-to-hire and personnel costs come from your systems.

More than 50 interactive chart types cover every question — from bars, donut and heatmap to network, chord and scatter-plot charts. Filter live by team, department, location, function or length of service and compare segments over time.

  • Soft KPIs: satisfaction, eNPS, engagement, work-life balance, culture
  • Hard KPIs: headcount, attrition, recruiting funnel, time-to-hire, absence
  • Filters & drill-downs by team, department, location or segment
  • Flexible time series to track every metric

Weighting, flexible bases and open-ended responses are handled directly in the software.

Export your results in one click as natively editable PowerPoint in your own master, as Excel report books or as PDF. Once set up, reports refresh automatically — ideal for a recurring employee survey or an ongoing HR tracking study.

What is the difference between soft and hard HR KPIs?
Soft (subjective) KPIs such as employee satisfaction, eNPS, engagement, work-life balance and employer attractiveness usually come from employee surveys.
