AES Dashboard Training Videos Now Available!
The AES
Dashboard training videos help orient VA employees to the AES Dashboard for
easy access to AES data and specific action planning tools action/strategies.
Whether downloading the Dashboard for the first time, or if one wants
support after the fact, the videos walk employees through the various features
of the Dashboard. You will see six recorded videos along with
transcripts. The six brief videos cover an overview of the dashboard,
each of the four roles, and how to pull data from the ‘Data Menu’ tab.
The AES
Dashboard provides data and guidance on how to use AES data for four different
employee roles (Executive Leaders, Mid-Level Managers, Frontline Supervisors,
and Frontline Employees). The Dashboard contains a separate area for each
employee group. It also includes quick access to other data tools such as
the Best Places to Work map, AES Snapshots, Composite Crosswalks, and
Current/Change Year Workgroup Grids (as well as links to the VA Workforce
Surveys Portal and the AES Help Desk).
