Intuitive HR dashboard

An HR dashboard is your central hub for tracking all your key people data in one place — from absences and holidays to turnover rates and employee performance.

Instead of juggling spreadsheets, your HR dashboard combines data into clear snapshots, helping you identify trends and manage human resources tasks more easily.

With Breathe’s intuitive HR dashboard, you get everything you need to stay organised, save time, and focus on what matters most — your people.

Yes — especially if you’re handling HR alongside your main job.

Breathe’s HR dashboard makes it easy to stay on top of holidays, sickness, and employee data without needing HR expertise.

It’s perfect for solo HR professionals, office managers or business leaders who want to simplify human resources management and save valuable time.

Even with a full HR department, a dashboard is essential.

It gives HR professionals a live view of key metrics like absence trends, employee performance reviews and upcoming appraisals — helping your team spot issues early and make smarter decisions.

It also keeps leadership in the loop, streamlines reporting, and reduces time spent on admin — freeing up HR departments to focus on supporting employees and building a positive working environment.

An HR dashboard is for anyone managing people — from full HR teams and human resources departments, to individual HR professionals and managers.

It brings together key functionalities like holiday tracking, employee performance management, and turnover insights into one place.

It also makes life easier for employees, speeding up leave requests, performance reviews, and communications.

Breathe is the perfect tool to help HR support employees - whether they're a whole HR department, a small HR team, or an individual HR manager. It's so simple to use that even someone with no HR experience can easily get to grips with it.

An HR dashboard brings everything together in one easy-to-use place, helping those in HR roles stay on top of their people management tasks. By pulling different pieces of information into one spot, an HR dashboard helps combine data from across the business — like time-off requests, performance reviews, and eNPS scores — so you can spot trends and make quicker, smarter decisions.

It highlights the key functionalities you rely on every day, whether that’s tracking absences, managing onboarding, or keeping an eye on employee wellbeing. At the same time, it makes it easier to stay on top of the key functions of HR, like compliance, reporting and people development, without having to switch between loads of different systems.

In short, a good HR dashboard frees you up to spend less time on admin and more time focusing on what really matters: supporting your people and building a brilliant workplace.

An HR dashboard can help you spot signs of when members of your staff might be struggling - whether it's down to burnout, disengagement, or simply needing more support.

With Breathe, you've got smart tools built in to do just that.

• Our Bradford Factor alerts automatically flag when someone's short term absences start to add up - giving you a nudge to check in before it becomes a bigger issue.

• Our Burnout Monitor report offers you a visual snapshot of the employees most at risk of burnout, based on extended work periods without holiday or sickness.

• And because regular check-ins matter, Breathe also sends auto-reminders for 1-2-1s, so that employee performance conversations don't get missed in the day-to-day rush.
  
  

At its core, an HR dashboard helps you act early. Whether you're an HR professional or are just juggling human resources tasks among other responsibilities, it helps you keep things running smoothly and create a positive working environment.

Turnover trends give you valuable insights into why people leave and what keeps them engaged.

With Breathe’s Turnover Report, you can refine job ads, improve onboarding, and shape career growth opportunities for existing employees — helping you hire people who are more likely to stay.

It’s a simple way to take the guesswork out of recruitment and build a more stable, engaged team.
