So you have now built a custom fields report and you are now wondering, what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:

HR Platform: Workforce Snapshot Report You can use this report to see three key statistics about your organisation, that are gender, employment status, and employee age breakdowns.
HR Platform: Reporting on the Number of Active Employees This feature allows you to create a report on what your active employee headcount was at a specific date broken down by their employment type and location.
