A Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Dashboard - Monitoring Employee Satisfaction via a Flash-based Scorecard

Gallup identified 12 questions that measure employee engagement and link directly to critical performance outcomes, including productivity, employee retention, customer retention, safety, and profitability. These questions are now known as the Gallup Q12. See http://education.gallup.com/content/default.aspx?ci=871. 

This interactive Crystal Xcelsius model located at http://www.xcelsius.com/Examples/Overview.html was created by Kate Clark, a student at the University of Nebraska Omaha, and shows Gallup’s Q12 data which measures employee satisfaction. Kate’s model won both the Crystal Xcelsius Award and the Gallup Award for outstanding data visualization

So what or who is The Dashboard Spy? As his about page states, The Dashboard Spy is just a guy interested in the design of business dashboards. He could not find any executive dashboard design source books and so set about creating his own. Finally convinced to post his extensive collection of dashboard screenshots online, he was amazed to find how popular it has become. If you have a nice screenshot to share, please send an email to info _at_ dashboardspy.com. Also check out The Dashboard Spy’s favorite books.
