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 #

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.
