Understand the HR Outcomes Dashboard

The HR Outcomes Dashboard gives HR leaders a unified view of four outcomes: Engagement, Performance, Turnover, and Manager Effectiveness. Each outcome appears as a tile on the dashboard and draws from distinct data sources in 15Five.

Access requires assignment to the Outcomes Dashboard and MEI. This feature is available on the Perform and Total Platform pricing packages.

Feature Structure

The dashboard is organized into four outcome tiles. Each tile displays a score or percentage derived from a specific data source. Tiles appear in an empty state until the required data flows into 15Five.

Tile What It Shows
Engagement Score or Pulse average across active employees
Performance Distribution of Top, Mid, and Bottom Performers
Turnover Rate at which employees leave the organization
Manager Effectiveness Composite indicator of manager performance across leadership competencies

Engagement Tile

Engagement reflects how connected and committed employees feel to your organization and its goals. 15Five defines employee engagement as "an employee's intellectual and emotional connection with their employer, demonstrated by their motivation and commitment to positively impact the business's vision and goals."

The tile measures engagement in one of two ways, depending on available data:

  • Engagement Score (default when a campaign has run): The average engagement score of all active users who participated in an engagement survey in the applied date range, using their most recent score.
  • Average Pulse in Check-ins (default when no campaign has run): The average Pulse score given in Check-ins by all active users, using the most recent score from the past 31 days.

You cannot manually select which measurement method the tile uses. The dashboard defaults to Engagement Score if your organization has run an engagement campaign. It defaults to Average Pulse if no campaign has been run.

Performance Tile

The Performance tile shows how active employees are distributed across three designations: Top Performers, Mid Performers, and Bottom Performers.

Designations are sourced from 15Five's Best-Self Review feature using one of two methods:

  • Performance Rating (recommended): The percentage of active users whose most recent performance rating falls in the top, middle, or bottom of the selected Performance Ratings+ rubric.
  • Specific review cycle question: The percentage of active users whose most recent designation falls in the top, middle, or bottom of a selected opinion-scale question.

The top response option on the rubric or scale maps to Top Performer. The bottom response option maps to Bottom Performer. All other responses map to Mid Performer.

For example, a five-category rubric ranging from "Does not meet expectations" to "Consistently exceeds expectations" assigns a rating of 5 as Top Performer, a rating of 1 as Bottom Performer, and ratings of 2-4 as Mid Performer.

The tile also populates automatically when an external review cycle containing performance designations has been imported into 15Five.

Turnover Tile

The Turnover tile measures the rate at which employees leave your organization. It is populated from termination data, which enters 15Five either through an HRIS integration or a bulk import CSV. The tile displays how turnover is trending month over month.

Manager Effectiveness Tile

The Manager Effectiveness Indicator (MEI) provides a data-driven view of how managers perform across key leadership competencies. The tile draws from Manager Effectiveness Survey responses collected during engagement campaigns, in addition to any other sub-factors included in your MEI configuration.

Key Rules

  • The Engagement tile cannot display both Engagement Score and Average Pulse simultaneously — the method is determined automatically based on whether a campaign has been run.
  • The Performance tile requires completed review cycle data or an imported external review to display designations.
  • The Turnover tile requires termination data from an HRIS sync or CSV import.
  • The MEI tile requires the Manager Effectiveness Survey to be included in an engagement campaign if that sub-factor is part of your MEI configuration.
  • All tiles start in an empty state until the corresponding data source is active.
