Concept: Trends, Gaps, Top Drivers, and Detailed Data

You can click

on a KPI, visualization or focus insight card to view the data as it changed over time, its underlying drivers, or additional details about it.

Trends and Gaps

Focus insights show metric trends and gaps. A trend demonstrates how a metric changed over time. Example: In the last 12 months, female representation in Org Level 4: Marketing has increased by 18.8 percentage points.

A gap shows how a given metric is performing in a certain area or areas of the organization, in comparison to another area of the organization or to the entire company. Example: Female representation in Country: United States, Org Level 4: Marketing is below the rate in Org Level 2: Sales by 5.6 percentage points.

All focus insights show metric performance over time on the Trend Chart. The amount of data history you have in People Analytics determines how many months for which we can show a metric trend. The maximum number of months we display is 36.

Top Drivers

The storyteller engine surfaces top drivers of a metric by slicing the metric by different dimensions. Examples: Ethnicity, generation, location, or management level.

The Top Drivers tab on a focus insight card displays dimensions:

Contributing to the performance gap for the focus insight.

Driving the focus insight in the opposite direction.

Top Drivers are identified using a linear regression model that calculates an

Insight Score

. The

Insight Score

is a variation of the correlation coefficient for each possible driver. Drivers are then ranked by this score. We label drivers as
High Impact
if they rank in the 80th percentile or higher among all analyzed drivers per topic.

Tables underneath the dimensions display personalized insights for each top driver, using conversational language to convey key information. Example: Female Representation in this Tenure Category
is 64.3%
— which is 18.7
percentage points above Cost Center 1
.

The change in metric, population size, and historic trend (for trend business questions) determine the impact level. High
impact labels indicate areas of the organization where there might be an immediate need for focus.

Decision makers can focus on a few of the biggest drivers to improve performance of the metric as that can even influence other, not so impactful drivers.

Detailed Data

The

Detailed Data

tab is designed to be a preview and displays the first 100 rows of data with the possibility of restricting the list to an individual month. You can export the data to a discovery board to view all rows of data and perform further analysis.

On the

Detailed Data

tab for visualizations, you can refine the data by the dimensions used in the visualization. You can also export the data to your device as a PNG or to Workday Slides.
