These basic headcount measures can be viewed at an aggregate level (e.g. for a
market) or at a detailed level (e.g. individual employee names). They can be
filtered to include or exclude specific named groups from the total results (e.g.
include managers only, exclude sales function employees). They can be grouped
by a specified variable in order to compare the results for different groups (e.g.
compare headcount of personnel subareas). They can be run for a single point in
time (e.g. year-end 2010), for multiple points in time (e.g. January 2010 and January
2011), or for a specified range of time (e.g. Q4 2010). The results for a range of
time can be viewed as an aggregate (e.g. average headcount for Q4 2010 is 500) or
as a monthly trend (e.g. headcount rose from 480 to 520 in Q4 2010).
The HR Headcount Report can help you easily answer the following types of
questions:
What was the average headcount for my market last year? What was the
exact headcount for my market last month?
How many employees within my market work for the Nutrition business? Has
that number gone up or down over the past two years? How does that
compare to the other globally managed businesses?
How many managers within the technical & production function in my market
are female? Can I see a list of those female managers by location?
How many managers within the finance function in my market are nearing
retirement age? Can I see a list of those who work for the Petcare business?
This report is intended for members of Nestls HR community who need visibility to
basic data for the employees they support. Access is granted to a particular person
by assigning him/her the relevant variant of the HR-0999 security role. The
authorization objects for this security role are:
Below is a table showing common categories of HR users and their relevant security
variants. For each security variant, assume that authorization objects not appearing
in the chart are unrestricted (i.e. *).
Mgr.:
Zone = AOA
Corporate HR All of Nestl None HR Leadership Team:
No restrictions
The most common security variant is for a report user to have visibility to all
employees in his/her market. To create this variant, the Personnel Area
authorization object is restricted with the ISO code (followed by an asterisk) for each
country within the relevant market.
3. Data Source Where does the data in this report come from?
Each monthly data snapshot is extracted from GLOBE SAP HR and loaded into the
Business Warehouse (BW) one week after the month ends. This one-week delay
allows any transactions with effective dates in that month to be captured in GLOBE
SAP HR before the data is extracted. For example, unplanned terminations
occurring on the last few days of June may be processed just after the month ends.
By waiting until July 7 to extract the June data, those retroactive terminations are
reflected in the June data.
This delay is especially important because each monthly snapshot of data is only
loaded into BW a single time. This single load rule guarantees that reporting and
metrics remain consistent over time (i.e. the January headcount from 2009 will
always be reported as the same number regardless of when you run the report).
However, it means that the BW data may not perfectly match GLOBE SAP HR (the
source system) if retroactive actions or data corrections are processed more than
one week after a month ends. For example, if a termination with an effective date of
June 29 is processed on July 15 (more than one week after June ends), that
termination will not be reflected in the June data within the BW report. The same is
true if a Personnel Area data correction with an effective date in February is
processed on April 10. The employee whose Personnel Area was corrected
retroactively in GLOBE SAP HR would still show the incorrect Personnel Area for
February through April in the BW report.
It is likely that there will always be a small number of retroactive transactions and
data corrections processed in GLOBE SAP HR more than one week after the relevant
month ends. Accordingly, it is likely that the BW HR Headcount Report will always
be out of alignment with GLOBE SAP HR on a few points. Therefore, GLOBE SAP HR
always represents the official system of record for HR data. All basic data records or
lists of employee data requested for official legal or government purposes should be
pulled directly from GLOBE SAP HR. While the BW HR Headcount Report allows
you to create detailed lists of employee data (e.g. a list of female managers at a
specific location), its true strength lies in allowing you to easily slice and group
aggregate data (e.g. breaking down the number of female managers by location
and displaying this breakdown for each month of 2009).
5. Data Timeframe How far back does the report data go?
The Business Warehouse (BW) always retains 3 full calendar years of data plus the
current year-to-date data. All data older than this specified timeframe is discarded.
For example, as of 15 June 2011, BWs data coverage includes 2008, 2009, 2010,
and 2011 January through May. All 2008 data is discarded only after the 2011 year
ends so that 3 full calendar years of data remain (2009, 2010, and 2011). The BW
HR Headcount Report offers reporting capability on the full timeframe of data
available within BW.
The report includes the basic data for all Nestl employees whose markets are live
on GLOBE SAP HR. It also includes contractors who are paid via Nestl payroll by
markets that are live on GLOBE SAP HR.
By default, the following filters are applied to all report results in accordance with
the Nestl headcount definition:
9 Temporary
C Regional Inpat
included in the headcount after they leave Nestl (i.e. withdrawn and
retiree employees are excluded)
counted when theyre really external contractors (i.e. external workers are
excluded)
Although these Employment Status and Employee Group filters are applied by
default, they can be adjusted within the report if desired. For example, you can
adjust the Employee Group filter in order to count the number of External
workers.
2. Average FTE
Lets take a closer look at what each of these figures means and how it is calculated.
The actual key figure in the report is Average Number of Employees. This key
figure represents an average of the Number of Employees figure for each month
you choose to include in the report results:
Lets say you want the Average Number of Employees for your location for 2010
Q1. You select January 2010 through March 2010 as your desired date range for the
report.
Month Number of
Employees
January 2010 137 people
February 2010 137 people
March 2010 138 people
Note that the Average Number of Employees for any individual month is exactly
equal to the Number of Employees for that single month (since monthly data is a
snapshot as of the last day of the month).
Note that there is one adjustment being performed behind the scenes to prevent
doule counting of employees who hold multiple positions. There is a hidden key
figure called No of employees with several positions. Globally, all but a handful
(fewer than 10) employees being counted by this key figure hold exactly 2 positions.
Return to Table of Contents Page 7 of 27
BW Report Detailed Documentation: HR Headcount Report April 2011
The only situation for which this method does not work properly is when an
employee holds more than two positions (which applies to fewer than 10 employees
globally).
Average FTE
FTE is a summation of Full Time Employees (FTE) in which each employee counts
as a relative proportion of 1 based upon his/her IT0007 (Planned Working Time)
Employment Percentage as of a particular date (e.g. a full-time employee counts
as 1, a part-time employee working at 50% counts as 0.5). Each month of data
loaded into BW represents a snapshot of the last day of that month. Therefore, the
FTE for June 2009 indicates the equivalent number of Full-Time Employees
comprised by the employee workforce as of 30 June 2009. Remember that the BW
HR Headcount Report has specific Employment Status and Employee Group
filters set by default in accordance with the official Nestl headcount definition.
These default filters impact the FTE result.
The actual key figure in the report is Average FTE. This key figure represents an
average of the FTE figure for each month you choose to include in the report
results:
Lets say you want the Average FTE for your location for 2010 Q1. You select
January 2010 through March 2010 as your desired date range for the report.
Month FTE
January 2010 107 FTE
February 2010 107 FTE
March 2010 108 FTE
Note that the Average FTE for any individual month is exactly equal to the FTE for
that single month (since monthly data is a snapshot as of the last day of the month).
The report has an additional key figure for your use called Average Length of
Service. This key figure is not displayed in the report results by default, but you can
choose to display it by selecting it from the Key Figures navigational block of
filters.
Length of Service represents the number of years that an employee has been
working for Nestl. It is calculated by measuring the span of time between an
employees Technical Entry Date and the specified report period end date (i.e. the
last day of the selected report end date month).
Note that Technical Entry Date is equal to Hire Date for any employees who have
worked continuously for Nestl. For those employees who have had a service
disruption (e.g. exited Nestl and then were rehired), Technical Entry Date is a
calculated date designed to give credit for time worked before the break in service.
The actual key figure in the report is Average Length of Service. This key figure
represents an average of the Years of Service figure for each month you choose to
include in the report results:
Lets say you want the Average Length of Service for your 3-person department as
of 31 December 2010.
Your Average Length of Service for the department would be calculated as follows:
Lets say you want the Average Length of Service for your 3-person department for
Q4 2010.
Years of Service
Employee Oct. Nov. Dec. Q4
2010 2010 2010 Average
Employee #1 4.83 4.92 5.00 4.92
Employee #2 1.33 1.42 1.50 1.42
Employee #3 2.33 2.42 2.50 2.42
Your Average Length of Service for the department would be calculated as follows:
As mentioned above, each monthly data load represents a snapshot as of the last
day of that month. If an employee meets the headcount criteria (Employment
Status and Employee Group) as of the last day of a month, he/she will be counted
in both headcount key figures for that month.
Was the employee still working on the last day of the month?
Only if the answer is yes should the employee be counted in the headcount for
that month. In our example of the employee whose last working day was August
31, the answer is yes, the employee worked on the last day of the month and
should therefore be counted in the August headcount. (Note that the start date
for the End Employment action indicates the first day on which an individual is no
longer employed with Nestl. The End Employment start date for our example
would be September 1 since this employees last working day was August 31.)
Below are some specific examples of how employment action dates at the very end
or beginning of a month impact in which month(s) an employee should be included
in the headcount.
1) Launch the HR Headcount Report from within your SAP GLOBE portal.
2) Indicate your desired date range on the Variable Screen. The default date
selection is the most current month of data available. If you want to select a
different point in time, update both the start and end dates to that specific
month. If you want to select a range of time, update the start and end dates to
reflect that range. You may also further limit the employee population within the
report results by selecting specific Personnel Areas on this screen. If you do not
select any specific Personnel Areas, your report results will include all Personnel
Areas that you have security rights to view.
3) Select any Navigation Filters as desired to further limit the employee population
reflected within the report results. By default, the only two navigational filters
that are automatically applied are Employment Status and Employee Group (in
accordance with the global headcount definition).
Important Tip #1: As you select a Navigation Filter to display as rows, youll
experience a brief data processing wait for the rows to appear. The duration of this
wait is directly proportional to the number of rows to be displayed. As a best
practice, always filter down the size of the relevant employee population to a
manageable number (e.g. several thousand at the largest) before displaying
Employee or Position as rows.
Important Tip #2: As a best practice, limit which Navigation Filters you choose to
display as columns to those filters with fewer than 12 values. Otherwise youll have
to repeatedly scroll left and right in order to view all columns displayed.
past 3 years. Knowing what question youre trying to answer will help you
determine the most useful way to run your report.
Note: Remember that although the HR Headcount Report allows you to drill all the
way down to specific details like employee name, it offers more powerful insight
when used to display trends and comparisons at the aggregate level.
Examples:
Only employees in my business
Only employees in my department
Only Finance & Control employees
-- AND / OR --
Examples:
Compare all businesses within my market
Compare all department within my market
Compare all functions within my department
Note that you can stop displaying a filter as rows or columns by clicking the same
button a second time. You can deactivate your filter selections by clicking the
garbage can icon.
