Organization

What's new

Trailing time added to turnover count metrics

We’ve added trailing time for the following turnover metrics, allowing you to equate the counts with the corresponding turnover rates in your analyses:

• Employee Exit Count
• Turnover Count Voluntary
• Turnover Count
• Resignation Count
• Retirement Count
• Involuntary Turnover Count
• RIF Count
• System Termination Count

Compared to Teammates description update

We’ve updated the short descriptions of the following properties on the Employee subject to provide guidance on how to analyze a z-score value:

• Age Compared to Teammates
• Base Pay Compared to Teammates
• Tenure Compared to Teammates
• Time Since Last Positive Pay Change Compared to Teammates
• Time Since Promotion Compared to Teammates

Resigned In property

We’ve added a property called Resigned In on the Employee subject so you can filter by whether the employee has a resignation record within the specified time window. For this filter to work, the time window must occur after the selected time period of your visual.

Bug fixes

110942 - Reporting Layers Below Employee Range calculation change

We’ve updated the ranges so that they are lower inclusive and upper exclusive. For example, reporting layers equal to 1 will be included in the 1-2 range.

Deprecation notices

COVID-19 external data end of support

We are no longer supporting COVID-19 external data due to a lack of quality, up-to-date data from external sources. For a full list of the objects we will no longer support, see Deprecation notice: Blueprint Design Objects.

Planning

What's new

Goals for Plan Models

In the planning grid, goals appear below the toolbar to help planners quickly gauge whether their plan values are above or below the limit that is set for the fiscal year. Goals can now be set for the following plan items:

Headcount Forecasting

• Budgeted Cost - YTD
• Budgeted FTEs
• Budgeted Headcount

Exploration Snapshots

Exploration Snapshots can now be created for all plan models. This allows main planners to analyze plan metrics using segments across all subplans.

Talent Acquisition

What's new

Time to Start/Fill in Period

We’ve added two metrics, Time to Fill in Period and Time to Start in Period, which calculate new hire events during the period. In contrast to the existing Time to Fill and Time to Start metrics, which are calculated from the beginning of time, you can now use these metrics to see different values depending on the time period chosen.

Disposition Reason dimension

We’ve added a dimension called Disposition Reason that shows the reason for rejecting the applicant in the applicant process.

Time to Success for Pre-Applied Applicants (Applicant Process) metric: We’ve added a metric in the applicant process that calculates the average time, in days, from when an applicant enters the pre-applied pipeline to when they achieve success in the applicant process.

Talent Essentials

What's new

Promoted to People Leader concept

We’ve added a concept called Promoted to People Leader that allows you to filter to the population of employees whose status changed to managers with a span of control greater than 0. This does not include employees who became managers (i.e., span of control greater than 0) and then transitioned back to individual contributors (i.e., span of control = 0) during the period.

Talent Expert

What's new

Active filter on succession objects

We’ve updated the formula of the following succession objects to include active employees only:

• Unique Successors (metric)
• Ready Now Successors (property)
• Ready in 1-3 Years Successors (property)
• Ready in 4-5 Years Successors (property)
• Successors (property)
• Successor Value Group (property)
• Successor (property)

Employee goal metrics

We’ve added the following metrics that calculate total goals:

• Total Goals
• Total Goals Ending in Period
• Total Goals Ending in Future
• Total Goals Starting in Period

Active Goal concept calculation change

We’ve updated the formula for the Active Goal concept to be based on the goal’s start and end dates. Previously, it was using the goal’s fiscal year.

Time & Attendance

What's new

Location and Organization dimensions in Hours Recorded

We’ve added the ability to do comparisons between scheduled hours and worked hours recorded based on the actual location or organization where the employee did those hours. Previously, the default was the employee's location and organization.

Case Management

What's new

New Cases Per Employee metric

We’ve added a metric called New Cases Per Employee that calculates the number of cases that were opened per employee during the period.

New Cases metric dynamic value

We’ve added a dynamic Case Type value to the New Cases metric that allows you to select the cases you want to analyze. For example, if you only want to analyze new Missing Payment cases, set the Case Type to Missing Payment.
