People Curves

See how employee turnover develops over time

People Curves turn employee start and termination dates into tenure-aligned views that reveal when employees leave and how turnover patterns develop over time. Compare results across departments, roles, locations, hiring cohorts, or other meaningful segments in your workforce data.

Use People Curves to:

  • Compare employee turnover across departments, roles, and locations
  • Identify when employee departures are most concentrated
  • See how turnover patterns differ between hiring cohorts
  • Explore the underlying data behind each curve
  • Build repeatable workforce comparisons without recreating the analysis manually in Excel

Upload your Excel file, select your employee and date fields, and build curves from the workforce data you already have.

No code. No formulas. Just a clearer view of employee turnover over time.

We never store your data—uploads are processed in-session only and permanently deleted after each use.

Use Cases

 

VSC and Home Warranty Marketers

Compare employee turnover across departments, locations, roles, and hiring cohorts.

Compare retention patterns by department, role, or tenure to identify areas of workforce instability and support more informed staffing decisions.

 

 

HR & OPERATIONS
TEAMS

Track how employee turnover develops across teams, locations, and hiring cohorts.

Identify early-tenure attrition, compare workforce stability between groups, and use consistent analysis to inform retention and staffing strategies.

 

Benefits

TIME

Build and compare People Curves without spending hours recreating employee turnover analysis manually in Excel.

Move from workforce data to clear comparisons faster, so you can focus on retention patterns and where employee departures are concentrated.

ACCURACY

Apply consistent, repeatable calculations across the People Curves you build.

Reduce the risk of spreadsheet errors and compare employee turnover using the same methodology across departments, roles, locations, hiring cohorts, and other meaningful segments.

FLEXIBILITY

Filter and compare employee turnover using the fields already in your dataset.

Explore differences across departments, roles, locations, managers, and hiring cohorts, then refine your comparisons as new workforce questions arise without rebuilding the analysis each time.

How It Works

Step 1: Upload

Upload your Excel file containing the employee records you want to analyze.

Once your data is loaded, you can select the fields needed to build your People Curves.

Step 2: SET FIELDS AND FILTERS

Select your employee ID, start date, termination date, and measurement date to configure your analysis.

Filter and compare turnover across departments, roles, locations, or other meaningful segments in your workforce data.

Step 3: Build Curves

Generate People Curves to see how employee turnover develops over time, measured from each employee's start date.

Compare curves side by side to identify differences in retention and turnover patterns across teams, locations, and hiring cohorts.
