Aon Assessment Norge

What Aon Assessment Norge does

Aon Assessment Norge is a Norwegian operating unit of Aon plc's global Talent and Rewards practice, headquartered in Oslo and employing 51 to 100 people. The entity delivers psychometric talent assessment, rewards consulting, and workforce analytics to HR leaders, executive teams, and boards across Norway, drawing on the parent's broader footprint in over 120 countries. Core product offerings include pre-hire and post-hire psychometric assessment tools that integrate with more than 80 applicant tracking systems, the Radford McLagan Compensation Database covering 9,000-plus organizations and 30 million employees across 100-plus countries, and advisory services spanning total rewards, job architecture, pay equity, pay transparency, workforce skills (SkillsGraph), executive compensation, equity compensation, and corporate governance. Underlying technology combines proprietary psychometric instruments and a dynamic workforce skills library (SkillsGraph) with analytics drawn from 15 million annual assessment participants.

The business model blends professional services (consulting-based talent and rewards advisory) with subscription/recurring revenue from database access and platform benchmarking tools. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with fully integrated talent and rewards advisory teams selling direct to HR leaders, compensation professionals, and executive leadership. Distribution is anchored by Aon's global marketing infrastructure, including the Aon Insights content platform, regional event series (Aon Insights Series), the Better Being Podcast, the annual Human Capital Trends study drawing on 2,300-plus business leaders, and the annual Client Trends Report. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through customized consulting engagements, with the Radford McLagan Database offered as a platform subscription.

Aon Assessment Norge operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a global professional services firm incorporated in England and Wales with reported FY2022 revenue of $12.2 billion. The Norwegian entity traces its origin to Aon's 2012 merger with Hewitt Associates, which added HR consulting and benefits administration to Aon's risk and insurance brokerage base; the Talent and Rewards capability has since expanded through digital product launches (notably virtual assessment tools in 2020) and the scaling of proprietary platforms including SkillsGraph, Gauge (banking performance benchmarking), and Revenue GPS (institutional equity analytics).
