# The Workforce Reports

Headcount and tenure as they stand today, and the audit trail behind every change.

Two reports sit under Workforce and they have almost nothing in common. One describes the shape of the organisation; the other records what people did to it.

## Workforce

![The Workforce report, headed Workforce above the line Headcount, tenure, employment type and hiring trend, with only a Rotherham Central Warehouse location picker and no date range. Four cards read 13 Total Employees, 0 New Hires this month, 2 On Notice Period and 9.9 yrs Average Tenure. Charts below show Headcount Over Time as a flat line from April to September, New Hires by Month as an empty bar chart, Headcount by Department as horizontal bars led by Engineering and Maintenance, and an Employee Status Breakdown doughnut.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/worklink/reports/workforce-report.png)

*The only report with no date range. Headcount is a fact about now, not a total over a period.*

![Four cards across the top of the Workforce report: Total Employees 13, Joined 0, Left 0, and On Notice 2, the last adding the line Next out: Dermot Lynch, Sep 13. Each card carries an icon.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/worklink/reports/workforce-cards.png)

*Total and On Notice Period read together: two of thirteen are leaving.*

*Cards on the Workforce report*

![Two panels from the Workforce report. Employees over time plots a flat line at thirteen from October through September, with Before Oct 1 25 reading 13, Joined 0, Left 0 and Today 13 beneath it. Status shows a doughnut reading CONFIRMED 11, 85 per cent of total, beside a legend of Confirmed 11 at 85 per cent and Notice Period 2 at 15 per cent.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/worklink/reports/workforce-charts.png)

*A flat headcount with no hires is a stable depot. The same pair on a growing site is what tells you recruitment is keeping up.*

> **Note:**
>
> **Average tenure moves when people leave, not only when they join**
>
> A long-serving leaver drags the mean down sharply on a small roster. Read it beside On Notice Period rather than on its own.

## Activity Logs

The audit trail. It records what changed, who changed it and when, across attendance and leave, and it is the report you reach for when a figure is disputed rather than merely low.

![The Activity Logs report, headed Activity Logs above the line Audit trail of attendance changes, or your own attendance history. Filters and Columns buttons sit on the left, a date range and a blue Run Report button on the right, and a filter chip reads This Month, 01 Sep 2026 to 30 Sep 2026. The table has columns Date, Activity Details and Description, listing leave request changes with an Audit Trail link on each row.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/worklink/reports/activity-logs.png)

*Every row is one change. The Audit Trail link at the end opens the full before-and-after.*

![Rows of the Activity Logs table. Each carries a timestamp of 08/09/2026 09:49 AM, a red Leave Request chip with the subject such as Annual Leave on 2026-07-03 and the employee name, and a description such as Status changed from pending to rejected, by Eleanor Whitfield, with an Audit Trail link at the right.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/worklink/reports/activity-rows.png)

*Two rows per request is normal: one for it being added, one for each status change.*

*Columns on Activity Logs*

> **Tip:**
>
> **Use it to answer "who approved this?"**
>
> A disputed leave day or a corrected attendance record both leave a row here naming the person who decided it. That is the question the other four reports cannot answer at all.
