It is an outcome metric for corporate HR and workforce planning.
Why it matters
A corporate organisation does not earn from hours or placements, but it does watch what its workforce costs. This metric shows which departments are over or under budget.
Where it goes wrong
External hires and freelancers often fall outside payroll, and so outside this metric. So also look at contingent labour costs and at approved versus actual headcount.
How Dashly calculates it
Dashly calculates it per month from your HRIS and accounting, per department. It belongs to the corporate and enterprise part of the model.
