Initial Diagnostics
Low-cost, data-led insight into the health of your organisation.
Some clients come with a clear project in mind; others want help identifying where to begin.
Our diagnostics offer a fast, pragmatic way to understand what’s really happening inside your organisation — and where to focus for the greatest impact.
Each diagnostic uses job-level data (either your own framework or our analytical assessment). These are not full job evaluation or grading exercises, but high-level analytical tools designed to guide decision-making and shape the roadmap for deeper reward or design work.
You can choose one diagnostic or combine them for a richer view.
Reward health check
A data-led audit of internal pay health and market competitiveness.
Includes:
- Analysis of internal salary distribution and progression by job level
- Commentary on high-level market positioning (internal vs external benchmarks)
- Review of incentive eligibility and design (short- and long-term)
- Snapshot of benefits consistency across teams and locations
- Optional: leader discussions, engagement or exit data review to identify reward-related risks
Structure health check
A clear view of your organisation’s shape, scalability and efficiency.
Growing businesses often experience “structure creep”: added layers, unclear accountability, uneven spans. This diagnostic helps HR and Leadership teams see the true picture.
Includes:
- Structure review by job level, function and location
- Analysis of management layers, spans of control and grade distribution
- Identification of structural hotspots or inefficiencies
- High-level cost and scalability implications
- Optional: leadership discussions on scale readiness and critical roles
Pay equity health check
A strategic analysis of equity and representation drivers.
This is not a regulatory gender pay gap report. It uncovers the underlying structural causes of pay disparity — giving you insight into where inequality emerges and how to address it.
Includes:
- Pay equity analysis by job level and job family
- Gender representation review by level and function
- Analysis of role clustering, level distribution and management representation
- Optional: bonus, pension or equity analysis to surface hidden inequities
What you receive
Each diagnostic delivers actionable, prioritised insight — not just data.
You’ll walk away with a clear sense of where your organisation stands today and where to focus next.
