Leaders want a regular, trusted view of workforce health, not 30 numbers with no comment. This deck gives HR a monthly structure: where headcount sits against plan, what turnover costs, why absence is moving, how hiring is performing, a six-row scorecard and the actions that follow.

The sample follows Rookwood Logistics, a fictional carrier with 1,240 employees in February 2027. It shows 14% annualized turnover costing $1.6M, a 3.6% absence rate, 41 days to hire and one metric off track. Replace the figures with last month's HR system data, set your own definitions and end with one ask.
