Demographic Attributes let HR Admins report on employee trends across Birthdate, Ethnicity, Gender, Race, and Salary. Once enabled and populated, these attributes appear as filter dimensions in Engagement, Best-Self Review®, and Check-ins reporting.
Before You Begin
- You must have the HR Admin role. Account Admins without the HR Admin role do not see the Demographic Attributes option.
- Have 15Five's Master Subscription Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Data Processing Agreement available to review before you begin.
Steps
- Click Settings in the bottom corner of your 15Five account.
- Select Features from the dropdown menu.
- Click Features overview.
- Scroll to the People Attributes section.
- Toggle Demographic Attributes to On.
- Read the consent popup referencing 15Five's Master Subscription Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Data Processing Agreement.
- Check each required checkbox in the consent popup.
- Click Enable demographic data.
- Click Configure to the right of Demographic Attributes.
- Populate attribute values for your employees as needed.
> Where attributes appear after enablement: > - Engagement — Engagement Admins can filter results by demographic attributes (labeled "hidden groups"). > - Best-Self Review® — HR Admins can filter company review results by demographic attribute. > - Check-ins — HR Admins can filter the Submitted Check-ins and Reviewed Check-ins dashboards by demographic attribute.
