Concept: VIBE Index in People Analytics
VIBE™ stands for Value Inclusion & Belonging for Everyone. The VIBE Index topic in Workday People Analytics surfaces key outcome metrics showing where you can foster fairness and consistency across specified groups. These insights help you identify operational gaps and drive continuous improvement to cultivate an environment of inclusion and belonging for everyone.
VIBE Maturity Model
To help organizations assess their progress and move forward in cultivating inclusion and belonging, Workday developed the VIBE Maturity Model.
Stage | Description | VIBE Score Range |
|---|---|---|
Commit | Set strategy and define commitments. | 0 - 1 |
Drive | Identify drivers and develop best practices. | 2 - 3 |
Thrive | Achieve and renew goals. | 4 - 5 |
Outcome Scores
To determine the VIBE Score for your organization, we calculate outcome scores and group scores. Outcome scores identify areas where you can improve consistency across all specified groups in each metric.
Metric | Description | Calculation Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Attrition | Number of terminations within rolling period. | Depending on your data history:
|
Belonging | Number of workers with a positive belonging sentiment within period. | Last Peakon scores for the belonging questions up to 12 months back. |
Hires | Number of new hires within rolling period. | Depending on your data history:
|
Leadership | Number of workers in leadership roles at end of period. | Current snapshot period |
Promotions | Number of promotions within rolling period. | Depending on your data history:
|
An outcome score is the total number of successes for an outcome metric, scaled to align with the VIBE Score range.
Group Scores
Group scores identify opportunities to improve consistency across all outcome metrics in each specified group. A group score is the total number of outcome metric successes for a given specified group, scaled to align with the VIBE Score range.
The specified group you include in your field-mapping configuration of People Analytics determines the specified groups we include in the VIBE Index.
Successes
When you meet or exceed the baseline benchmark for an outcome metric (excluding Attrition), we consider it a success. Successes help determine the overall group and outcome scores, ensuring our practices remain fair and consistent.
Because high attrition can impact an organization in a negative way, we flag attrition as below baseline when the workforce composition is above the comparison point.
Specified Groups
A specified group is a group that ideally consists of employees representing various demographics and characteristics across workforce composition. A specified group is a field or a group of fields that represent the dimensions you want to analyze in the VIBE Index.
We recommend that you use a minimum and maximum of 2 fields to define your specified groups.
Examples of fields used to define a specified group can be Region and Gender.
The values of the fields used to define the specified group determine the specified group values. Each of the values within the specified group is an individual people group. A specified group could be "Region and Gender. Example: The specified group "Region and Gender" has values such as Male-EMEA, Female-APAC, Male-NA, and Male-LATAM.
The values of the fields you use to define the intersection determine the intersection values. Each intersection value is an individual intersection (people group).
Baseline
Establishing a baseline helps ensure consistent and fair practices across workforce composition, accounting for contributing factors.Specified groups baselines help measure the consistency of outcomes across workforce composition.
Example: A company reaches a compensation baseline when employees across different groups achieve consistent pay after accounting for contributing factors such as job title, industry, education, and experience.
Baseline Matrix
The Baseline Matrix shows the workforce composition of each specified group as the comparison point against the proportional values of all outcome metrics. When an outcome metric is at or above the baseline, it is considered consistent. "Below baseline" is defined as any outcome metric falling below the composition for a given specified group, with the exception of Attrition.
Because high attrition can impact an organization in a negative way, we flag attrition as below baseline when the attrition value for a specified group is above the comparison point.
