For customers of our Position Management module.
By selecting from individual widgets, you can configure your insights to display data most relevant to your current objectives. In this article, you will learn about the widgets available to help you monitor and improve position planning and organizational strategies.
Your position insights display data on all filled and open positions, regardless of whether positions have an importance level assigned. However, setting a position's importance level for each position in your organization provides deeper insights.
Available Metrics
Note: By default, only Company Admins can view all position insights. HR Admins and HR Managers can view most position insights by default but must have budgeting permissions for the entire org to view the How Much Does a Position Cost Me? widget.
Positions
This widget helps you understand the current number of open, filled, and total positions in your organization. You can view a breakdown of position counts by department, chart section, location, employee type, and more.
Total Positions Over Time
This widget helps you analyze position trends over the past 12 months, displaying breakdowns by open and filled positions, location, employee type, business unit, and more. Hovering over each bar chart provides additional data to help you compare changes in position counts by specific groupings. The system will start tracking your position data once you’ve added the Position Management module to your organization’s account.
What does a position typically cost me?
This widget provides the ranges and averages of annual pay rates across positions to help you quickly visualize and compare costs. You can view the breakdown by department, chart section, location, job family, and more. The calculation uses the annual salary rate for filled positions and the budgeted pay rate for open positions.
How critical are positions in my organization?
This widget helps you identify how many positions are considered critical in your organization by providing a summary of positions defined with high, medium, and low importance. This calculation requires first setting a position's importance level. Viewing this breakdown by importance level can also help identify needs for creating and managing succession plans.
How many positions have direct reports?
This widget displays the number of positions with one or more direct reports. Visualizing the ratio of managers to individual contributors can help identify needs for managerial training and support. This calculation considers both open and filled positions.
How many direct reports are typically under a position?
This widget displays the average number of direct reports under a position to help you assess the span of control across your organization. You can view and break down the number of direct reports by department, chart section, location, and more. This number only includes positions that have direct reports.
Turnover Rate
This widget displays turnover rate, which captures the percentage of people leaving your organization within a given time frame. You can view exits by month, quarter, or year, analyzing data over the year to date (YTD), the past 12 months (1Yr), or all-time (All). Hovering over the chart allows you to view the number of terminations in a specific time period and pinpoint trends or spikes in your turnover data.
FTE Over Time
This widget displays the trend of full-time equivalent (FTE) totals, so you can quickly compare monthly FTE totals and view where these changes took place across your organization. You can view a breakdown of this data by open and filled positions, location, employee type, and more. Hovering over the bar chart summarizes the total calculation for each grouping.
Vacancy Rate
This widget displays the percentage of positions currently open in your organization, allowing you to compare this number to the end of the previous calendar year. You can view your organization's vacancy rate and a breakdown by department, job family, chart section, positions, and more. The breakdown can help you pinpoint high vacancy rates where teams are struggling to hire or instances where the team is no longer actively hiring to fill certain positions.
