Affirmity, a leader in workforce analytics and compliance solutions, has released version 5.31 of its platform, introducing powerful new capabilities designed to keep pace with evolving federal regulations and rising expectations around pay equity and workforce fairness.
The update—which impacts the platform’s insights dashboards, PayStat® pay equity module, and user interface—is Affirmity’s most significant in recent years, reflecting major investments in data-driven compliance, usability, and strategic reporting.
“With the 5.31 release, we’re delivering meaningful enhancements that reflect both the pace of change in workforce compliance and the expectations of our users,” said Bruce Kile, Managing Director at Affirmity.
Refocused Dashboards for Strategic Compliance
A centerpiece of the update is the complete rework of the platform’s compliance dashboards. The former Affirmative Action Plan and Monitoring dashboards have been replaced with new Workforce Insights Plan and Monitoring dashboards, giving HR and EEO leaders a clearer, more actionable view into key workforce metrics.
These dashboards now provide:
-
Deeper segmentation for compliance insights
-
Interactive views tailored to key stakeholders
-
Streamlined monitoring of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives
Smarter Pay Equity With Enhanced PayStat®
The PayStat® module received some of the most notable upgrades in version 5.31, cementing its role as a central tool in Affirmity’s workforce equity suite.
New PayStat® capabilities include:
-
Subset plan creation: Conduct pay equity analysis on specific teams or locations without running org-wide reports
-
Integrated tipping test and cohort assessment: Users can now apply configurable thresholds for detecting pay disparities directly within the tool
-
Upgraded regression analysis: Expanded to support both an analysis class and comparison class, with a maximum of 10 control variables
-
Expanded rank sum analysis: Now supports up to 8 grouping variables, making for broader and more nuanced comparisons
These updates give DEI and compliance teams greater analytical precision and flexibility when reviewing compensation structures.
Redesigned UI for Greater Productivity
Affirmity also unveiled a modernized user interface that simplifies navigation and improves workflow efficiency across the platform.
Highlights include:
-
Clean, monochromatic design
-
Expanded editor workspace for better visibility and data manipulation
-
Simplified left-hand navigation
-
A revamped homepage experience across all modules
-
A universal “Help” button that replaces fragmented support features with centralized access to videos, guides, and documentation
The UI refresh prioritizes ease of use for both frequent power users and occasional contributors, making it easier to extract insights and take action quickly.
Affirmity’s 5.31 update comes at a critical time, as federal compliance demands grow and organizations face increasing scrutiny over pay transparency and workforce representation. By deepening analytical capability and enhancing usability, this release helps employers proactively manage risk, demonstrate progress, and build more equitable organizations.
