What is People Count?

People Count is the annual study for the not-for-profit sector, enabling you to compare your key HR metrics with not-for-profit benchmark data, and make solid evidence-based strategic decisions. Topics covered include:

Benchmark your HR and workforce metrics against UK not-for-profit organisations working in housing, mental health, social care and other areas. See exactly who you can benchmark against.

“People Count is a must-have for our HR team. It allows us to compare ourselves and our HR metrics to other relevant organisations and gives us the confidence we need to make decisions on our policies and renumeration packages for staff”

Alex Taylor, HR Manager (Systems, Data and Support), Crisis U.K

Why take part in 2022?

• Understand and compare your diversity statistics and other key HR and workforce metrics with 7-20 peer organisations of your choice, as well as all participating organisations.
• Learn how your peers in the not-for-profit sector are approaching key topics such as remote working, as well as their good practice in other areas.
• Taking part provides you with the online tools to drill down into your organisation’s results, as well as all three published reports.
• It is an essential tool for measuring the effectiveness of key areas such as recruitment, absence management and learning & development.

“The People Count survey has allowed us to carry out a comprehensive ‘check on ourselves’ – not only with regards the way we record, process and analyse our HR data but as a benchmark to inform our people strategy and drive our engagement.”
