Creating populations in Figures is a powerful tool that streamlines how you manage and analyze employee data. By defining and saving specific groups of employees, you can:
Save time with reusable filters: no more reapplying the same filters each time you need specific data. With populations, you save presets that can be used repeatedly across different sections of the platform.
Ensure consistency in compensation reviews: use predefined populations to consistently apply compensation guidelines and policies.
Analyze salary band positioning: quickly assess salary distribution and positioning within a specific group of employees to inform compensation decisions.
