Track Employee Demographics with Ease
The new Demographics Report offers a detailed view of employee demographic shifts over time, showcasing changes in race and gender through an easy-to-understand line chart. This year-to-year comparison is an essential tool for larger companies, facilitating accurate and efficient Employment Equity submissions.
Key Features of the Report:
Line Chart Representation: Visualise the year-to-year changes in race and gender demographics within your organisation. This feature ensures that you can track progress, identify trends, and make informed decisions based on the data.
