This is calculated as the percent of team members that identify as women in Workday as of the last day of the calendar month.
Target: 34%

This is calculated as the percent of women in Senior Leadership roles (Directors, VPs, and Executives) at GitLab, on the last day of the calendar month. In Workday, Senior Leader is categorized as a Team Member with a Job Grade of 10+ or CXO who are not on leave and have at least one direct report.

Health: Okay
This is calculated as the number of underrepresented ethnicity team members that are at GitLab, as defined by underrepresented groups at GitLab as defined in Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging.
Target: 15%
Health: Okay
Team Member Retention = (1-(Number of Team Members leaving GitLab/Average of the 12 month Total Team Member Headcount)) x 100. GitLab measures team member retention over a rolling 12 month period, as well as over a calendar month. (The default period is over a rolling 12 month period.) In order to achieve the rolling 12 month team member retention target, the monthly team member total turnover target is < 1.3% (16/12).
This KPI cannot be public.

The Onboarding Satisfaction (OSAT) Survey allows new team members to provide feedback around their Onboarding experience shortly after joining GitLab. The OSAT target is currently > 4.5 and is measured against month of hire as opposed to month of survey completion. Read more about how we measure satisfaction at GitLab.
Target: 4.5
Health: Okay
The number of discretionary bonuses given divided by the total number of team members, in a given period as defined.
Health: Okay
Pay Equality is measured by percentage "compa ratio" (+/- 2 points within 100%) for underrepresented groups at GitLab as defined in Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging.
Health: Okay
This metric is manually calculated by the Total Rewards Team, and will be moved over once we start using Compass. The Total Rewards Analysts will analyze against how many team members in a division or department are compensated outside the bands specific by our Global Compensation policy. The weights being used are 0.25 for % outside top end of comp band between 0.01% to 4.9%; 0.5 for band between 5% to 9.9%; 0.75 for band 10% to 14.9%; 1 for anything 15%+. The purpose of weighting how far over someone is from compensation band is to ensure if there are those outside of comp band slightly, they are not held at the same level as those hired well over rang

Pages, such as the Engineering Function Performance Indicators page are rendered by an ERB template that contains HTML code.
Other PI Pages sectionThese ERB templates calls custom helper functions that extract and transform data from the Performance Indicators data file.
kpi_list_by_org(org) helper function takes a required string argument named org (deparment or division level) that returns all the KPIs (pi.is_key == true) for a specific organization grouping (pi.org == org) from the Performance Indicators data file.pi_maturity_level(performance_indicator) helper function automatically assigns a maturity level based on the availability of certain data properties for a particular PI.pi_maturity_reasons(performance_indicator) helper function returns a reason for a PI maturity based on other data properties.performance_indicators(org) takes a required string argument named org (deparment or division level) that returns two lists - a list of all KPIs and a list of all PIs for a specific organization grouping (department/division).signed_periscope_url(data) takes in the sisense_data property information from Performance Indicators data files and returns a signed chart URL for embedding a Sisense chart into the handbook.The heart of pages like this are Performance Indicators data files which are YAML files. Each - denotes a dictionary of values for a new (K)PI. The current elements (or data properties) are:
