# Headcount, FTE and demographics

Three reports describe the make-up of your organisation at a point in time. They answer different questions and are best read together.

## Headcount

Employee count trend and split by department. It is the most consulted report in the module: it carries both the chart and the table, and its columns follow the period you selected — pick a month and you get monthly columns, pick a year and you get yearly ones.

## FTE

Full-time equivalent, computed from **weekly working hours** rather than from headcount. Two half-time employees count as one FTE, where Headcount counts two. The gap between the two curves is the measure of your part-time work.

## Demographics

An age pyramid: employees split by gender and age band, the two genders facing each other across the central axis.

## Reading them together

| Question | Report to open |
| --- | --- |
| How many are we, and where? | Headcount |
| What workload does that really represent? | FTE |
| Who are we? | Demographics |

*The Demographics report relies on the date of birth and gender held in the employee file. Employees with those fields empty appear in no band.*
