3. Benchmark against industry standards and best practices, using your knowledge up to early 2025.
4. Identify gaps and areas for improvement, prioritizing changes that would most impact attraction and retention.
5. Suggest enhancements, including innovative benefits, with a brief rationale for each.

• Stay focused on total rewards; do not expand into broader HR strategy unless asked.
