Headcount Overview

The top section provides a snapshot of your organization's current staffing levels.

Headcount Summary Cards

CardDescription
Total EmployeesThe current number of active employees across all departments
Total DriversThe number of employees with a driver role who are currently active
New HiresNumber of employees who joined during the selected period
DeparturesNumber of employees who left the company during the selected period

Each card displays the current figure alongside a net change indicator showing growth or reduction compared to the previous period.

Headcount by Department

A bar chart and table showing how employees are distributed across departments:

ColumnDescription
DepartmentThe department name (e.g., Operations, Finance, Maintenance, Administration)
Total EmployeesNumber of active employees in this department
DriversNumber of driver-role employees within this department
Share of TotalThis department's headcount as a percentage of total company headcount

This breakdown helps you understand your organizational structure and whether staffing levels are proportional to each department's workload.

For fleet management companies, the Operations department (drivers and dispatchers) typically represents 70-85% of total headcount. If your ratio differs significantly, it may be worth reviewing whether support functions are appropriately sized.

Headcount Trend

A line chart showing total headcount over time within the selected period. Overlaid markers indicate:

  • Green markers -- New hire dates
  • Red markers -- Departure dates

This chart reveals whether your workforce is growing, stable, or shrinking, and how the pace of hiring compares to attrition.

Attendance Rates

Attendance tracking measures how reliably your team shows up for their scheduled shifts. Consistent attendance is critical for fleet operations, where driver absences directly impact trip capacity and revenue.

Attendance Summary Cards

CardDescription
Overall Attendance RatePercentage of scheduled shifts where the employee was present and on time
Average Late Arrivals per DayMean number of employees arriving late each day
Absent Without LeaveNumber of unplanned absences (no approved leave request) during the period
Perfect AttendanceNumber of employees with 100% attendance during the period

Attendance Trend Chart

A line chart showing the daily attendance rate over the selected period. The chart includes a target line (typically 95%) to make it easy to see whether attendance meets your company's standards.

An attendance rate consistently below 90% can significantly impact your fleet's earning capacity. Each absent driver represents an idle vehicle and lost revenue. Monitor this metric closely and investigate patterns -- are absences concentrated on certain days, departments, or individuals?

Attendance by Department

A table comparing attendance rates across departments:

ColumnDescription
DepartmentDepartment name
Attendance RatePercentage of scheduled shifts where employees in this department were present
Late ArrivalsTotal number of late arrival events during the period
Unplanned AbsencesNumber of absences without an approved leave request
TrendUp or down arrow indicating improvement or decline vs. the previous period

Attendance by Day of Week

A bar chart showing average attendance rates for each day of the week. This reveals patterns such as:

  • Lower attendance on Fridays or Mondays (common in many industries)
  • Weekend attendance challenges if your fleet operates seven days a week
  • Specific days that consistently fall below target

Driver Performance

Driver performance metrics rank your drivers based on objective, measurable criteria that directly impact your business.

Performance Summary Cards

CardDescription
Average Driver RatingMean performance rating across all active drivers (if ratings are configured)
Top Performer RevenueThe highest revenue generated by a single driver during the period
Average Revenue per DriverTotal fleet revenue divided by the number of active drivers
Drivers Below TargetNumber of drivers who did not meet the minimum performance threshold

Driver Performance Rankings

A sortable table listing all active drivers with their performance metrics:

ColumnDescription
DriverDriver name and employee ID
Total TripsNumber of completed trips during the period
Total RevenueRevenue generated by this driver
Revenue per TripAverage revenue per completed trip
Total FinesSum of fines issued to this driver
Attendance RateThis driver's attendance percentage during the period
Commission EarnedTotal commission this driver has earned
Net ContributionRevenue minus commission, fines, and expenses attributed to this driver

You can sort by any column. Sorting by Net Contribution gives you the clearest picture of each driver's true value to the business.

High revenue alone does not make a driver a top performer. A driver who generates strong revenue but accumulates frequent fines or high expenses may have a lower net contribution than a driver with moderate revenue and minimal costs. Always evaluate drivers using net contribution.

Top 5 Drivers

The five drivers with the highest net contribution during the selected period. Each entry shows:

  • Driver name and assigned vehicle
  • Total revenue, trips, and net contribution
  • Attendance rate

Bottom 5 Drivers

The five drivers with the lowest net contribution. Each entry shows:

  • Driver name and assigned vehicle
  • Total revenue, trips, and net contribution
  • Primary issue (low revenue, high fines, poor attendance, or high expenses)

Before taking action on bottom performers, review the full context. A driver may have low numbers due to vehicle downtime, leave of absence, or recent onboarding. Check the driver's assignment history and attendance record for the complete picture.

Revenue per Driver Trend

A line chart showing the average revenue per driver over time. This metric is useful for measuring productivity improvements. If you are adding drivers but average revenue per driver is declining, it may indicate market saturation or inefficient scheduling.

Leave Utilization

Leave utilization metrics help you understand how your team uses their leave allowances and how absence affects operations.

Leave Summary Cards

CardDescription
Total Leave Days TakenThe sum of all approved leave days consumed during the selected period
Average Leave per EmployeeTotal leave days divided by the number of active employees
Leave Utilization RatePercentage of total available leave balance that has been used
Pending Leave RequestsNumber of leave requests currently awaiting approval

Leave by Type

A breakdown of leave consumption by type:

Leave TypeDescription
Annual LeaveStandard paid vacation days
Sick LeaveLeave taken due to illness or medical reasons
Emergency LeaveShort-notice leave for urgent personal matters
Unpaid LeaveLeave taken without pay, typically when paid allowance is exhausted
OtherAny company-specific leave types (maternity, paternity, study, etc.)

Each type shows the total days taken, percentage of total leave, and comparison to the previous period.

Leave Calendar Heatmap

A calendar heatmap showing the number of employees on leave for each day of the selected period. Darker cells indicate more employees absent on that day. This visualization helps you:

  • Anticipate staffing gaps -- Identify dates with high leave concentration
  • Plan ahead -- Spot upcoming periods where many employees have approved leave
  • Balance workload -- Ensure enough drivers are available on any given day

If your leave calendar shows clusters of high absence on the same dates, consider implementing a leave cap per day to ensure minimum operational coverage. This is especially important for driver teams where each absence directly reduces fleet capacity.

Leave Balance Summary

An overview of remaining leave balances across the organization:

MetricDescription
Employees with Full BalanceNumber of employees who have not used any leave
Employees Below 25% BalanceNumber of employees who have used more than 75% of their leave allowance
Average Remaining BalanceMean number of leave days remaining per employee
Employees with Zero BalanceNumber of employees who have exhausted their leave allowance

Employees with a full unused balance near the end of the year may indicate they are not taking sufficient rest, which can lead to burnout. Employees with zero balance may need additional support or schedule adjustments.

Using Workforce Data for Decisions

Staffing Decisions

Use headcount trends alongside operations data to determine if you need to hire:

  1. If vehicle utilization is high (above 85%) but you have idle vehicles, you may need more drivers
  2. If trip demand is growing but revenue per driver is stable, adding drivers should increase total revenue proportionally
  3. If departures are outpacing hires, investigate the reasons -- compensation, working conditions, or management issues

Attendance Improvement

If attendance rates are below target:

  1. Identify whether the issue is company-wide or concentrated in specific departments or individuals
  2. Check if attendance dips correlate with specific days (e.g., post-weekend) or seasons
  3. Review whether incentive programs for perfect attendance could improve reliability
  4. Address chronic absentees individually through HR processes

Driver Development

Use the driver performance rankings to guide training and assignment decisions:

  • Top performers -- Recognize and reward. Consider assigning them to premium vehicles or high-revenue routes
  • Mid-range performers -- Identify specific areas for improvement (e.g., reducing fines, improving trip counts)
  • Bottom performers -- Provide targeted training. If performance does not improve over 2-3 months, consider reassignment or other HR actions

Leave Policy Optimization

Review leave utilization data to ensure your leave policy supports both employee wellbeing and operational needs:

  • If leave utilization is very low, employees may feel discouraged from taking time off -- review your company culture
  • If unplanned absences are high relative to approved leave, your leave policy may be too restrictive
  • Implement minimum notice periods for non-emergency leave to allow for scheduling adjustments
