Design a world-class, modern enterprise web dashboard UI for a company admin panel. The current design (screenshot provided) is outdated. Create a pixel-perfect, responsive layout that balances aesthetic elegance, high usability, and professional clarity.
🎯 Primary Goals:
Transform a traditional dashboard into a visually stunning and highly intuitive admin interface.
Support real-time business metrics, employee data, ticketing system, device and leave management.
Ensure fast scanning, minimal distractions, and visual hierarchy to guide user focus.
🖼️ Layout Guidelines:
📌 Header (Top Bar):
Clean, flat top bar with company logo, current date, profile avatar, and notification bell.
Add a theme toggle (light/dark).
📌 Sidebar Navigation:
Collapsible left sidebar with minimal icons + labels.
Use hover tooltips, section grouping, and active item highlighting.
Menu items: Dashboard, Leave Management, Office, Devices, Batch, Users, Employees, Designations, TimeTable, ATS, Tickets, Payroll, Finance.
📌 Dashboard Section:
Use a 12-column grid layout with responsive tiles.
Each KPI tile (Present Employees, Leaves, Vouchers, Tickets, etc.) should:
Have soft shadows, glassmorphism or neumorphism effect
Animated icon, primary value, subtext, and "More info" CTA
Subtle hover interaction
📌 Data Cards (e.g., Device Locations):
Show clean, borderless tables with zebra striping, sorting/filtering, and responsive behavior.
🎉 Extras:
Add a "Today’s Highlights" banner for birthdays, pending approvals, urgent alerts.
Use donut charts or bar graphs for analytics if needed.
Include a modern floating action button (FAB) for adding records.
🎨 Best-in-Class Color Palette:

Primary #3B82F6 (Sky Blue)
Accent #10B981 (Emerald Green)
Background #F9FAFB (Soft Light Gray)
Card BG #FFFFFF (Pure White) with soft shadow

Secondary Text #6B7280 (Cool Gray)
Alerts/Warnings #F97316 (Orange), #EF4444 (Red)

Ensure full accessibility (color contrast, ARIA, tab navigation).
