HR professionals know the feeling: you need a quick answer about headcount growth, turnover, or pay equity, but the data is scattered across different platforms. You spend more time hunting for numbers than acting on them. When your workforce data is fragmented, reporting slows down, compliance gets tricky, and strategic planning can feel like guesswork.

Sequoia’s Executive Workforce Insights Dashboard was built to change that. By centralizing your most important HR metrics, it gives you and your team the clarity you need to make confident, data-driven decisions, without the hassle.

The Challenge of Disconnected Workforce Data

Let’s be honest. Juggling multiple dashboards and spreadsheets is exhausting. When HR metrics live in silos, it’s tough to get a true sense of your organization’s health. You might have headcount in one system, compensation in another, and diversity stats buried somewhere else. This fragmentation doesn’t just slow down reporting; it can also create compliance risks and make it harder to spot trends or address issues before they grow.

For example, if you’re trying to benchmark your manager-to-employee ratio or track retention by department, disconnected data means you’re piecing together a puzzle with missing pieces. That lack of visibility can stall decision-making and make it harder to respond quickly to changes, whether it’s a spike in turnover or a need to ramp up hiring in a specific region.

These data silos can lead to missed opportunities and slower responses to business needs. Centralized dashboards aren’t just a nice-to-have; they’re essential for keeping your people strategy agile and compliant.

Building a Battle Tested Solution

Over the last 24 years Sequoia’s team has worked closely with HR professionals, CFOs, founders and technology partners. Our advisors have heard it all and we built this dashboard to solve the problems our clients come across most often. The executive team and people analytics teams at Sequoia even got in on the action, providing illuminating feedback on how they used the product. The result? A single platform that brings together all your people, compensation, and benefits data, powered by seamless HRIS integration.

With the Executive Workforce Insights Dashboard, you get real-time access to everything from headcount and turnover to pay transparency and headcount planning. The dashboard’s intuitive visualizations let you drill down into granular details, by department, geography, tenure, and more, so you can answer tough questions fast.

Actionable metrics are front and center. Whether you’re reviewing diversity stats or analyzing retention risks, the dashboard makes it easy to slice and dice your data, spot patterns, and share insights with stakeholders. It’s not just about seeing the numbers, it’s about understanding what they mean for your people strategy.
