How to Turn Dirty Excel & Workday Rosters into Board-Ready Org Charts (With Headcount Reconciliation)

Every quarter, People Ops and FP&A teams export an active employee roster from Workday, ADP, or Excel to build org charts for board meetings—and immediately hit three problems:

1. The unreadable wall poster: Standard org chart tools cram 150+ employees onto a single wide canvas that is unreadable on a 16:9 Zoom screen or PowerPoint slide.
2. The headcount mismatch: The CFO asks why the org chart shows 142 people when Payroll has 148 rows—because visual diagram tools silently drop rows with missing Manager IDs, duplicate Employee IDs, or circular reporting loops.
3. Accidental salary exposure: Importing a payroll spreadsheet prints individual compensation on cards unless you manually strip the column first.

A Client-Side Org Chart & Headcount Reconciliation Workbench

To solve this without uploading sensitive HR spreadsheets to a cloud server, we built OrgLayout—a 100% browser-local Excel and CSV org chart generator designed for boardroom decks and headcount audits.

1. Auto-Paginated 16:9 Department Slides (With Salary Masking)

Instead of one giant canvas, OrgLayout paginates your roster into an Executive Overview plus dedicated 16:9 department slides. Individual salaries are masked (••••••) by default for screen-sharing safety:

2. Traceable Span-of-Control & Payroll Rollup Table

Switch to the Rollup Table tab to audit span of control and department payroll totals, with every team tied directly back to its exact Excel source rows (Rows 12–59):

3. Zero-Drop Discrepancy Quarantine

The top equation bar (148 source rows = 142 mapped + 6 flagged) ensures zero silent drops. Any orphan Manager ID, duplicate row, or circular loop is isolated under Discrepancies for one-click resolution:

Try It in 3 Steps

1. Open OrgLayout.com and drop your .xlsx or .csv roster (or click Try a sample to inspect a 148-row Workday roster).
2. Review the 16:9 department slides, rollup table, and any flagged discrepancies.
3. Export native editable PowerPoint shapes (.PPTX), vector .PDF slides, or the 3-sheet reconciliation .XLSX.
