Find out why companies look out for benchmarks while working on improving employee experience.
What is Benchmarking?
Benchmarking has been defined as “the ongoing activity of comparing one’s own process, product or service against the best-known similar activity so that challenging but attainable goals can be set and a realistic course of action implemented to effectively become and remain best of the best”.
Put simply, organizations may have certain performance metrics and would want to compare them to know how well they are doing - and this comparison can be done against a reference point internally or externally.
What are different types of Benchmarks?
What is External benchmarking?
-
Benchmarking to compare the performance metrics with another organization or group of organizations (industry peers, organizations in the same operating region, organizations of similar size, etc.)
The advantages of external benchmarking
-
Allows organizations to position themselves against competitors while simultaneously identifying areas of weaknesses that need to be prioritized
What is Internal benchmarking?
-
Benchmarking to compare the performance metrics between different segments within an organization, such as departments, levels of hierarchy, and demographic groups
The advantages of internal benchmarking
-
Allows organizations to uncover the best and most efficient practices to share across the company
