2
When a top candidate is choosing between your offer and a competitor’s, what does your recruiting process signal about how your organisation operates-and is that the signal you want to send?
3
Does your organisation track DE&I metrics at a level of granularity that would show you where inequity actually lives - or does it report numbers that make the picture look better than it is?
4
Is there a wellbeing pattern forming in your workforce right now that your current reporting would only surface after it had already affected performance, attendance, or safety?
5
Does your organisation know, right now, which roles will be
hardest to fill internally in two years — and is anyone actively working on closing that gap?
6
Think of the last high performer who resigned. When, looking back, was the earliest point someone could have seen it coming — and was that signal visible to anyone?
7
If a pay equity audit started in your organisation tomorrow, how confident are you in what it would find — and in your ability to explain any differences it surfaced?
8
Your organisation has invested in training this year. Do you know
which programmes actually changed what people can do — and which ones didn’t?
9
When your headcount budget was set last year, how close was it to what actually happened — and what caused the gap?

11
Is your overtime
spend a managed cost or a symptom — and do you
have the data to tell the difference?
