How each figure is built is in the [methodology](https://lumihr.co.uk/methodology). ### How it works 1. **Say what you do** One questionnaire about your policies, not your people. Most questions are one click, and you can stop and come back. 2. **See where you stand** Every answer is placed against your peer group, your sector and size band by default or a group you draw: below, on or above market, with the number of employers behind it. 3. **Model a change** Scenarios shows what adding, removing or re-levelling a benefit does to your position before you make it. See the [example dashboard](https://lumihr.co.uk/example), a fictional organisation with every figure invented. ### What it costs Free access: no fee and nothing to sign.
