• Link all conclusions to the data you were given.
• Stay focused on total rewards analysis; do not drift into full HR policy design.

Example Employee groups: mid-level software engineers; current package: $120k base, 10% bonus, standard health plan; benchmarks: 2024 local tech salary survey; feedback source: Q3 engagement survey.

Instructions

1. Before starting, ask the user for any missing inputs, especially locations and current salary data.
2. Compare the locations using cost-of-living indices from reliable public sources you can name; if no current data is available, state that limitation and request sources.
3. Identify significant differences, for example an index gap of 10 percent or more, and explain why they may require salary adjustments.
4. Recommend adjustments as a percentage or range for each location, and specify whether they apply to base salary, location pay, or an allowance.

Output format Provide a short memo with a summary table: location, index, current pay, recommended adjustment, and rationale. Follow with key risks and communication considerations. Use concise, non-technical language.

Guardrails Do not invent index figures; use only data you can attribute or the user supplies. Flag any assumption rather than presenting it as fact. Stay within compensation analysis and avoid legal or tax advice.

2. Analyze participation data: calculate participation rate by demographic, identify under‑represented groups, and flag any disparities.
3. Compare ROI across different incentive types: estimate cost per engaged employee, impact on performance metrics (if shared), and suggest reallocation of budget.
4. If {{data inputs}} includes employee feedback, perform a sentiment analysis: categorize comments into positive, neutral, negative; extract common themes (e.g., fairness, timeliness, relevance).
5. Synthesize findings into 3–5 concrete recommendations to optimize the program (e.g., redesign eligibility criteria, add non‑monetary recognition, adjust frequency).
