A
Leadership Pushback Frequency
lack of reliability
In the last 30 days, how many offer decisions were questioned by business leaders?
0–1 — offers approved without escalation
2–3 — occasional challenges on specific roles
4–6 — recurring scrutiny across multiple offers
7 or more — offers being continuously challenged is a standard practise
B
Compensation Data Confidence
The root cause
How current and consistent is your market benchmark data?
Updated within the last 6 months across all role families
Updated annually — standard survey cycle
Older than 12 months for most roles
No consistent or updated data - ad hoc or mixed sources
C
Governance Process
The Data infrastructure
How is offer data stored and accessed across Talent Acquisition and Compensation teams?
Single source of truth — centralised and accessible - single data base
Occasionally fragmented — some reconciliation required
Mutiple systems - Frequent reconciliation required
Always fragmented — no single source exists across teams
D
Operational Effort per Week
The hidden cost
How much time does your team spend per week defending or explaining compensation decisions?
Less than 30 minutes — structured, minimal defence required
30–90 minutes — occasional justification for contested roles
90 minutes - 3 hours - justifications across multiple roles required
More than 3 hours - justifications being continuously required is a standard practice
E
Compensation Team Visibility
The sequencing gap
When does your Compensation team typically see offer data?
Before offers are released — Compensation team reviews prior to issue
At the point of release — simultaneous visibility
After offers are released — Compensation team sees final numbers post-issue
Only when issues arise — visibility is reactive, not structural
