Focus dell’informativa

This disclosure asks an organisation to describe the make-up of its core workforce in a way that helps readers understand who its employees are and how that workforce is structured. In practice, the report should give a clear picture of the employee base, rather than a selective snapshot, so users can see the main characteristics of the people the organisation employs.

The practical focus is on coverage across the organisation as a whole, not just a few flagship sites or headquarters teams. The information should be presented consistently enough to show the workforce structure across operations, so differences between locations, business units or employee groups are visible where relevant.

Come prepararla

Set the reporting boundary first: decide which workers sit inside the population for this disclosure, then keep that scope consistent across every figure and narrative you prepare.
Define each headcount category in business terms before you count: total workforce, gender split, country mix, permanent staff, fixed-term staff, and people on variable-hours arrangements.
Pull the underlying records and check they support the numbers: use the source systems or HR files that show the workforce totals, the breakdowns, and the leaver count for the reporting period.
Build the disclosure outputs from those records: prepare the numeric values for total employees, leavers, and turnover rate, and prepare the text descriptions for the workforce breakdowns.
Record any exclusions, reclassifications, or methodology changes so a reviewer can see why the current period presentation may differ from prior reporting or from other internal reports.
Compare the final draft back to the official source and the underlying data trail, checking that every required item is covered, the labels are aligned, and the figures or descriptions are internally consistent.

Richiedi i dati

Request the workforce headcount and movement data from HR

Traduci l’informativa in una domanda di business interna, poi adattala al linguaggio della tua organizzazione.

What is our core workforce mix and movement at the reporting date, and how many people joined or left during the period?

Use your organisation’s own people-data terms first, then map them to the reporting categories. For example, if you use ‘staff’, ‘colleagues’, ‘crew’, ‘field teams’ or ‘contracted workers’ internally, keep those labels in the request and only translate them when you prepare the disclosure pack. Check the source data and the reporting cut-off before sign-off.

Richiesta debole

Please provide the ESRS S1:S1-5 employee structure data for the period, including total employees, gender split, country distribution, permanent, temporary and non-guaranteed-hours workers, leavers and turnover.

Perché non funziona: This uses framework language that many operational teams do not use day to day, and it does not tell the owner which internal file, population, cut-off, or counting basis to use. It also leaves the split basis for country, gender and employment type unclear, so the returned data may not reconcile to the reporting pack.

Richiesta migliore

Could you send the latest workforce extract for [period/cut-off]? Please include the people file your team uses for headcount reporting, with total headcount, gender field, country or location split, permanent / temporary / non-guaranteed-hours split, leavers, and turnover rate. Also include the source system, population covered, and any definition notes so we can map your labels into the reporting pack.

Modello di e-mail formale
Subject: Request for workforce headcount and movement data

Hi [Name],

Could you please share the latest workforce file for [reporting period / cut-off date] so we can prepare the people-data pack for reporting?

Please include:
- total headcount at the cut-off date
- split by gender using the field your team normally uses
- split by country or location, using the basis you normally report on
- split by employment type, including permanent, temporary and any non-guaranteed-hours group you track
- number of leavers during the period
- turnover rate for the period, if you already calculate it

Please also include the file date, source system, population covered, and any notes on definitions or exceptions.

If it is easier, you can send this as a table or export from [system name]. Please use your team’s usual terms and we will map them for the reporting pack. Please check the official source before sign-off.

Thanks,
[Your name]

Nota metodologica

State how the workforce figures were counted, including the basis used for headcount, the definitions applied to each worker category, and whether the data covers the full reporting period or a point in time.

Nota di contesto

Explain what the figures show about the size, make-up and location of the workforce, and how the leaver count and turnover rate help readers understand staff movement during the period.

Dichiarazione sulle variazioni

If numbers changed materially, note the main drivers in plain terms, such as hiring, departures, changes in contract mix or shifts in country coverage, and link those changes to the reported totals.

Preparazione all’assurance

Per ogni affermazione, verifica le evidenze

Affermazione Rischio Evidenze da verificare
We checked that the country-level employee count covers every jurisdiction that met our internal threshold for inclusion, and that no qualifying location was left out.An assurer may test whether any eligible country was omitted, whether the threshold was applied consistently, and whether the inclusion list matches the underlying population used for the figure.Country-by-country population extract; documented inclusion threshold and application notes; consolidation workbook showing all included jurisdictions; review sign-off confirming completeness against the source population.
For staff working across more than one country, we used the relevant local legal definitions to classify employee types, then rolled the country figures up into the reported totals.An assurer may challenge whether local definitions were applied correctly, whether cross-border workers were treated consistently, and whether the roll-up from local files to the reported total is traceable.Method note on local-law definitions used; country source files; mapping or reconciliation from local classifications to the reported totals; evidence of review of edge cases and exceptions.
We calculated the turnover percentage for permanent staff using the agreed leaver count over the average workforce for the period, and we reported it for the same reporting window as the rest of the data.An assurer may probe the numerator definition, the averaging method, the period boundary, and whether the calculation was performed on a consistent basis across the dataset.Calculation workbook with formulae; source leaver report; average headcount support; period cut-off rules; management review evidence and recalculation checks.
We presented the workforce information in a format that fits the reporting framework, using either a table or narrative where permitted, and kept the layout consistent with the rest of the report.An assurer may assess whether the chosen presentation is allowed, whether the same data appear consistently across sections, and whether the format obscures or distorts the underlying numbers.Final report draft; formatting decision note; cross-reference to source schedules; editorial review comments; sign-off confirming the presentation matches the approved data set.
We documented how the employee data were compiled, including the main assumptions, data sources, and any context needed to interpret the figures.An assurer may look for gaps in the method description, unsupported assumptions, missing context, or a lack of clarity over how the numbers were assembled.Methodology paper; data lineage or process map; assumptions log; contextual narrative used in the report; evidence of internal review of the method disclosure.
We verified the total workforce count by headcount and included a split by gender, using the same source population throughout.An assurer may test whether the total and the gender split reconcile, whether the population basis is consistent, and whether any staff were double-counted or excluded.Headcount extract; gender breakdown report; reconciliation showing totals equal the sum of the split; source system screenshots or exports; review and approval evidence.

Pacchetto di evidenze da preparare

Lacune ricorrenti nella rendicontazione

A percentage is stated without the underlying counts (numerator and denominator).
The denominator — what the figure is a share of — is not explained.
Partial scope is reported as if it were complete coverage.
One-off activities are counted as if they were ongoing programmes.
Boundary or period changes that move the figure are not flagged.
Exclusions from the reported scope are not listed or explained.

Lacune ricorrenti

Errori da evitare nella raccolta dei dati

Wrong data ownerPeople teams sometimes ask the wrong function for the figures, instead of the group that actually holds headcount and joiner-leaver records.
Framework language used in the requestA vague ask in reporting jargon can leave the business unsure whether you mean the payroll view, HR roster, or another internal headcount source.
Scope not fixed up frontTeams can start collecting without agreeing which entities, locations, and worker groups sit inside the population, so the final set is inconsistent.

Dove serve spesso un giudizio professionale

Set the workforce boundary when businesses join or leave mid-yearChoose a clear cut-off for adding or removing people after a purchase, sale, or closure, then explain whether the headcount and leaver figures reflect the position at period end or a different agreed date basis.
Align local job categories before counting permanent, fixed-term, and variable-hours staffWhere country HR systems use different labels, map them to one internal classification rule and disclose the mapping so readers can see how local contract types were grouped for the report.
Decide how to treat people on the edge of the workforce perimeterState whether you include agency workers, contractors, interns, apprentices, or other borderline groups only when they sit inside your own people records and explain any exclusions or partial inclusion rules.
