It’s important for HR teams to have a comprehensive, reliable headcount report to rely on.

At the most basic level, it provides them with the company’s exact headcount, which is key to understanding if they’re subject to certain regulations (e.g. diversity reporting or gender pay gap reporting).

But on top of that, having visibility into the company's headcount over time – including employee count, internal transfers, as well as turnover and retention rate – allows them to effectively track overall turnover and retention. This level of visibility can also help to identify important trends, like which departments or teams have lost or retained the most talent over time, the events or times of the year where attrition peaked, and more.

With this Recipe, you’ll be able to view your company’s headcount metrics over time, according to department, team, level, and more. That way, it’s easy to spot trends affecting retention in your organisation, and make informed decisions around how to improve in the long run.
