The Staffing Report That Changed My Life
If you’re anything like me, you have spent a lot of time re-entering the same data across multiple platforms. Your company spent a ton of money on this “perfect” new tech, which barely functions and has basically no user support.
Well, instead of having to deal with all that, I built my own report. Check out the staffing report I built; it might just change your life!
What is it?
Simply the best.
Let me be real with you: this is literally an Excel spreadsheet. But not just any spreadsheet—this is the one I built out of pure frustration and a deep love for clean, scalable systems.
I’ve been in corporate HR for nearly a decade, but this sheet was born back when I was working with scrappy startups, building processes from the ground up. It started as a simple staffing tracker for teams of 10+, and now it’s evolved into a powerhouse that supports companies with 6,000+ employees. Yes, I made tweaks along the way (hello, continuous improvement 👋), but the heart of it stayed the same: make reporting actually useful.
I call it a staffing report, but honestly, it’s so much more. I couldn’t name it “Staffing/Attendance/Term/New Hire/Turnover/Absenteeism Tracker That Doesn’t Make You Cry,” so here we are.
Instead of pulling the same data into five different reports just to get five different metrics, this sheet gives you everything in one place:
Who’s staffed, who’s new, who’s termed
How many you actually need to be fully staffed
Turnover, absenteeism, average length of employment
Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and year-to-date breakdowns
And the best part? Those metrics are fixed. No digging through old reports or re-running formulas. You can view them from one spot, all year long.
Oh—and it grows with you. Add a new department or change a name? No need to call in an Excel wizard. It’s built to flex without breaking.
Ready to be the one-stop-shop knower of all things staffing?
This report isn’t just a spreadsheet—it’s your secret weapon. It’s the reason you’ll finally stop dreading Mondays, breeze through staffing meetings, and actually have time to take on those exciting projects you’ve been eyeing. No more drowning in data entry or juggling five reports to get one answer. You’ll be the person who says, “Actually… I’ve got that covered,” and watch your boss realize you were right—there is a smarter way to work. Grab the report and start showing up like the systems-savvy powerhouse you are (shout out mitochondria 🧬⚡️).
And here’s the truth: this tool did changed my life. I built it out of necessity, used it to solve real problems, and it’s one of the reasons I landed my corporate role. I didn’t wait for someone else to fix the broken process—I saw the gap and filled it. That’s what leadership looks like. You may not have the time or Excel skills to build this from scratch, but guess what? You did take the initiative to seek out a better way. That’s the kind of mindset that gets noticed, gets promoted, and gets results. So take the leap—this report is ready to work for you.
