Viewing Kibana Workforce Equity Analytics
Administrators can use the Workforce Equity dashboard to evaluate workforce equity data. Based on their user privileges and criteria, like gender and ethnicity, administrators can analyze diversity and compensation for the entire workforce or for a subset of the organization.
PeopleSoft Workforce Equity dashboard is a dashboard built on Kibana, the data visualization tool used by Elasticsearch. This dashboard is built on workforce equity data and uses search index HC_HR_WF_DIVERSITY.
For information on Kibana, see PeopleTools Search Technology, “Monitoring PeopleSoft Search Framework and Elastic search Using Kibana” and “Working with Kibana Dashboards for PeopleSoft Application Data” documentation.

The dashboard uses role level security to display permitted data to the user.

Delivered Workforce Equity Visualization Charts for Kibana
The Workforce Equity dashboard provides this collection of visualizations:
|
Field or Control |
Definition |
|---|---|
| Employees by Ethnic Group |
This donut chart visualization displays the number and percentage of employees that are included in an ethnic group. The chart displays the top 30 ethnic groups (based on count). Employees that indicate more than one ethnicity will appear in a Two or More group. |
| Employees by Gender |
This visualization displays a count of males, females, and others (those with undefined genders). |
| Compa-Ratio by Age and Gender (comparison ratio by age and gender) |
This horizontal bar graph visualization displays the average compa-ratio calculation by age groups and then grouped by male and female within those categories. Compa-ratio allows you to see where workers' salaries lie in relation to the midpoint range for their salary grades. Age groups include:
Note: The system calculates the ratio by comparing the worker salary to the midpoint amount of the salary grade. If the worker's current rate is the same as the midpoint, then the compa-ratio is 1.00, or 100 percent, of the midpoint. If the rate is above or below the midpoint, the system calculates a ratio for the difference between the salary and the midpoint, and then it adds or subtracts the difference from 1.00. If there is no defined midpoint, the compa-ratio will be 0. The system then averages all the compa-ratios for employee’s within a group, and displays that number on the chart. |
| Compa-Ratio by Department (comparison ratio by department) |
This vertical bar graph visualization displays the average compa-ratio calculation by department. The chart displays the top 15 departments (based on highest compa-ratio values) at a time. The Other department item contains information for all others departments that were not included in top 15 departments. Select the Other department bar item to display the next 15 departments in the list. For more information on compa-ratio calculations, see the Compa-Ratio by Age and Gender field descriptions above. |
