Most attrition reports end at one number: “18.5% this year.” The questions that follow usually go unanswered: Where is it happening? Which exits hurt most? What will they cost to replace? Who owns the fix?

The Attrition Intelligence Dashboard for Power BI is built for that conversation. It uses three simple tables:

a monthly Workforce Snapshot
an Employee Movement log, with one row per exit
a Retention Actions log

From these, it turns your workforce data into a four-page executive report:

Executive Attrition. Headline KPIs, monthly exits against annualized attrition and target, attrition by business unit, a ranked priority-segment table and an auto-written executive briefing.
Trends & Cohorts. Early-tenure exits, voluntary versus involuntary trends, tenure at exit, hires versus exits and a quarterly run-rate.
Segments & Drivers. A job family × location risk matrix (small groups suppressed), an exit-reason Pareto, attrition by location and manager-level concentration.
Critical Talent & Actions. Critical-role and high-performer exits, the replacement pipeline and a retention-action tracker with status pills and progress bars.

There is also a drill-through to pseudonymous exit records, a hover tooltip page and a built-in Guide page with every definition.

Every rate follows documented rules:

Average headcount is the mean of monthly (opening + closing) ÷ 2.
Partial periods are annualized and labelled.
Rates are recalculated from aggregated data, never averaged across teams.
Critical-talent rates appear only when a valid denominator exists.

Consistent attrition measurement. One set of documented DAX measures gives every leader the same numbers.
Faster identification of high-risk segments. Business units, locations and job families are ranked by exits above their own target, not by raw counts.
Clear voluntary and regrettable visibility. You can see the exits people chose, separately from the ones you wanted to prevent.
Exit-reason and tenure insight. A Pareto shows the few reasons behind most exits, and tenure bands reveal first-year leakage.
Critical-talent monitoring. Critical-role and high-performer exits are tracked with honest denominators. A rate you can’t calculate shows as “n/a” rather than an invented number.
Replacement-cost visibility. Estimated exposure and open replacement roles are shown, clearly labelled as estimates rather than losses.
Action follow-through. Owners, status, overdue flags and progress to target are shown for every retention intervention.
Instant start. The template opens with embedded sample data, so you can explore every page before connecting your own Excel file.

Do I need Power BI Pro or a paid licence?
No. Power BI Desktop is a free download from Microsoft and is all you need to open, use and refresh the template. Publishing to the Power BI Service and sharing with colleagues needs Pro or Premium licences under Microsoft’s terms.

Does it work on a Mac?
Power BI Desktop runs only on Windows. Mac users can use a Windows virtual machine, or open a copy published to the Power BI Service in a browser.

How do I use my own data?
Paste your rows into the fact sheets of Attrition_PowerBI_Data.xlsx, keeping the headers. Update the dimension and Settings sheets. Then, in Power BI, set DataSource = Excel file and point ExcelFilePath to your workbook, and click Refresh.

How is attrition calculated?
Total exits ÷ average headcount, annualized for partial periods (× 12 ÷ months). Average headcount is the mean of monthly (opening + closing) ÷ 2. Rates are always recalculated from aggregated data, never averaged across teams.

What is the difference between voluntary, regrettable and early-tenure attrition?

Voluntary counts exits the employee chose.
Regrettable counts voluntary exits of people you wanted to keep.
Early-tenure counts voluntary exits with under 12 months’ service. You can change this threshold in Settings.

Can I use only monthly headcount totals?
Yes, for headcount and overall, voluntary and involuntary rates. The exit-reason, tenure, regrettable, critical-talent and cost views need exit-level records.

Can it predict who will resign?
No. It summarizes historical exits and shows patterns and associations, not causes or individual predictions. Never make decisions about individuals from dashboard figures alone.

Does it contain real employee data?
No. The sample is fictional (Northstar Digital Services) and uses pseudonymous IDs.

How should sensitive HR data be handled?

Use pseudonymous Employee IDs, and don’t add sensitive personal attributes.
Restrict access to the report.
Follow your local privacy, employment and anti-discrimination laws.
Keep the small-group suppression in place: the risk matrix hides groups below the minimum population.

Can I change the currency, colours or branding?
Yes. The sample uses ₹. Change the currency format on the cost measures, swap the logo, and apply your own theme JSON.

Does it refresh automatically online?
In Power BI Desktop, you refresh manually. Scheduled refresh in the Power BI Service needs a published report, and an on-premises data gateway if the Excel file sits on a local drive.

Can I save it as a .pbix file?
Yes. Open the template in Power BI Desktop and use File › Save As to create a .pbix.

Does it include a Gantt chart or custom visuals?
No. It uses only built-in Power BI visuals, so there are no AppSource add-ons or extra licences to buy.

Does it work on mobile?
Reports published to the Power BI Service can be viewed in the Power BI mobile app. The layout is designed for desktop screens.

Is support documentation included?
Yes. You get a setup guide, a DAX measure catalog, a star-schema description, Power Query notes, an expected-values file and a Guide page inside the report.

A ready-to-use Power BI template. Double-click it, and the full report loads with fictional sample data.
A Power BI project version for teams using Git or Microsoft Fabric.
A clean Excel dataset with fact and dimension sheets. Paste in your own data and refresh.
A star-schema data model with 4 dimensions (organization, location, job, manager), a fiscal calendar (April start) and documented relationships.
54 documented DAX measures, organized in display folders: headcount, attrition, exit mix, critical talent, cost and pipeline, retention actions, narratives and targets.
A professional light theme in navy, blue and cyan, plus the theme JSON for rebranding.
Seven interactive slicers: Month, Business unit, Location, Job family, Level, Manager and Exit type.
Auto-written narratives that update with every slicer selection.
A build kit and setup guide covering refresh, data preparation and expected values for checking your first load.
