This release gives you more control and flexibility across BalancedComp and BalancedResults. From mass actions on Plans and Templates to more detailed DOI minority tracking and improved salary adjustments, these updates make managing data and reporting easier than ever.

IMPROVED: DOI Minority Options
We’ve expanded the options for tracking employee minority status in line with U.S. Department of Interior guidance. In addition to the existing “Minority/Non-Minority” selection, you can now choose from the following subcategories:

– African American
– American Indian
– Asian
– Caucasian
– Hispanic
– Pacific Islander
– Two or more (or multi-racial)

This update gives you greater flexibility and accuracy when reporting on workforce diversity. Many organizations are required to provide detailed demographic reports for compliance, equal opportunity tracking, and internal diversity initiatives. Adding these options allows you to capture more granular data for analysis and reporting. If you prefer not to track these subcategories, you don’t have to! The original options (minority / non-minority) remain fully available.

 

NEW: Mass actions on all Results Plans and Templates
Managing Plans and Templates got a lot easier this year! You can now add, edit, and delete core competencies, objectives, special projects, and training modules in bulk. These views are also perfect for quickly reviewing and comparing all plan or template content to ensure consistency across your organization. This is a huge leap forward for company administrators!

 

IMPROVED: Salary Adjustments
Salary adjustments are now more functional and informative. For each new adjustment, we will set the percent increase and the employee’s compa ratio before the update. These values remain editable because compa ratios can change throughout the year due to updates to geos, grades, or midpoints. This gives company admins control over compa ratio history and ensures accuracy. While percent increases have been retroactively set for all past salary adjustments, historical compa ratios could not be calculated and are not prepopulated. Compa ratios will always be tracked and editable for all adjustments moving forward.

 

Up Next: We’re excited to keep building tools that make your life easier. Coming soon is empowHR, a community forum to connect clients and share best practices, a new report showing average payroll and headcount by industry and asset size, and a centralized Resource Center with every client resource in one place.
