  Quick Tip: Watch this short tutorial to see the HCM Dashboard in action.   

Overview


Screenshot of Headcount card

The Headcount Card displays the total number of active and inactive benefit-eligible employees as of the fiscal year start date ( July 1) . It provides a snapshot of staffing levels at the beginning of each fiscal year, grouped into four categories: 

  1. Total Headcount
  2. Total Support Staff Headcount
  3. Total Faculty/Academic Staff Headcount
  4. Total Executive Management Headcount

 

Key Metrics & Definitions


Headcount  = # of active & inactive benefit eligible employees at the fiscal year start (7/1)

  • Active = Employees currently working or on paid leave
  • Inactive = Employees on leave without pay

  • Report Administrator
  • Report Administrator Sensitive

Org-based security applies; users will only see data for organizations they are permissioned to access.
