Opportunities for Improvement
- Manual data entry — This dashboard requires you to paste or type employee data into the Data Sheet tab. There is no automatic integration with survey tools like SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, or Google Forms.
- No automated alerts — If an engagement score drops below a threshold, the dashboard won’t send a notification. You need to review the charts manually or add conditional formatting rules.
- Chart customization limits — Google Sheets charts offer fewer visualization options than Power BI or Tableau. If you need advanced drill-throughs or custom visuals, consider the Employee Engagement Dashboard in Power BI.
