Understanding the Workplace Gender Equality Report

The Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 requires all non-public sector employers to report to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) annually. The employers must complete and submit online a workplace profile and the reporting questionnaire covering standardized reporting matters under a specific number of gender equality indicators. The workplace profile should show the composition of their workforce by gender, employment status, standardized occupational categories and remuneration data, and for managers, their reporting level to the CEO. Two options are available for reporting: Unit level data and Aggregate data.

PeopleSoft HCM supports the Aggregate data format, in which you have to report workplace profile details for managers and non–managers separately. You can download a system-generated Excel template from the WGEA online portal to enter the workplace profile data. This Excel template contains two sheets: one for managers and one for non–managers. While downloading the Excel template, you have to indicate how many reporting levels are present in your organization until the CEO. The template thus generated will reflect those precise reporting levels. PeopleSoft HCM does not generate the template as such, but instead, will support you to draw all the necessary details. The data so drawn can be used to fill the Excel spreadsheet. Once populated, that spreadsheet can be uploaded to the online portal.
