We are excited to announce a powerful new feature available on openHR, our comprehensive HR management web app. Designed exclusively for South African businesses, openHR is now equipped with a dynamic Demographics Report, aimed at providing invaluable insights and aiding compliance with Department of Labour filings.
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.
Pie Chart of Languages Spoken: In addition to race and gender, the report includes a pie chart that displays the diverse languages spoken by your employees. This insight into linguistic diversity is particularly valuable in our multicultural society, helping to foster an inclusive workplace environment.
With the introduction of the Demographics Report, openHR simplifies the process of meeting Department of Labour requirements. By providing a clear and comprehensive overview of demographic data, this report ensures that your company remains compliant with the Employment Equity Act.
