Finally, we will provide you with a summary of our findings against the estimated cost to implement our solution at <business name>. iedex Pty Ltd Page 3 of 9

4 ADMINISTRATIVE COST SAVINGS By replacing a manual process with the automated PDP software solution you can expect cost savings in the following areas of your business: Tracking learning & development recorded in performance plans Applying career development priorities across the business Gathering information to assist recruitment Succession planning Communicating and managing progression incentives. Communicating and aligning values & behaviours to those desired by the business If each of these selected areas is manually administered for each employee every year, by using the iedex PDP solution, the vast majority of this administration is automated for you. Plans are available automatically to staff and managers, reminders are sent regularly, plans pass between staff and managers automatically through process workflow, standard templates are available, data can be pre-filled to streamline your process and learning and development options are available for selection without needing additional paperwork. If we estimate that your HR resources spend 15 minutes per annum, per selected area, per employee to cover the administration steps incorporated in the iedex PDP tool, there will be substantial administrative cost savings: iedex Pty Ltd Page 4 of 9

5 While these quantitative, cost savings are brought about by automating the administration of your performance and development process, there are additional, qualitative benefits from using the iedex PDP solution: Visibility of the performance and development process, real-time Governance of the performance and development, succession planning and incentive processes Enabling managers and staff to see real time plan / review status and to edit plans and reviews through each iteration Understanding your organisational learning and development requirements to plan, budget and negotiate whole of business training deals with external vendors Auditing adherence to HR policies and procedures for OHS, compliance and business improvement purposes..

In our ROI calculation we take a more conservative approach to this figure by using a factor of With our PDP, you will be retaining your key people, keeping them engaged in your organisation and acknowledging their career preferences, succession aspirations, learning and development opportunities. iedex Pty Ltd Page 5 of 9
