By default, the Y-axis shows overall turnover, but it’s dynamic and can be changed.
Use the Segmented by filter to see how turnover varies across departments, job levels, or other dimensions.

Can I view more than 12 months of data?
Yes! Use the “Custom Range” option in the Date Range filter.
Why is the chart not showing data for some months?
If no joiners or leavers were recorded in a given month, the chart may appear flat or show gaps. Otherwise, try resetting the filters using "clear".
Can I export the chart as an image or PDF?
Yes, you can export the data table as a CSV file or png image via the “Export” option, at the top of the report page.
Why don’t I see certain filters?
Filters are dynamic. If your organization doesn’t have data for a specific value (e.g., no employees with “Bereavement” leave type), that filter may not appear.
What does “regretted turnover” mean?
This refers to departures that your organization would have preferred to avoid—like top performers or hard-to-replace roles.

Only users with “HR Reporting” permissions can access it. If you can't see the report, check with your company’s Remote owner to confirm your access level.
