Internal and external benchmarks | insights for prioritizing your efforts

So, how did it go? That's often the first question our clients ask after a workplace assessment or other well-being surveys are completed. 

And it's only natural. 

The purpose of these surveys is primarily to gather information about how things are going — what's working well and where improvements are needed. 

This is where benchmarks become essential. Benchmarks allow you to: 

• Measure internal progress or regression since the last survey 
• Compare results with similar organizations domestically and internationally 

• Establish the difference between a good and a less favorable result 

In short, benchmarks provide a reliable yardstick to evaluate what might be considered a good result. 

Because that’s not always clear-cut. 

A score of 80/100 may be excellent in some cases, while it might be less favorable in others. 

Therefore, benchmarks are an indispensable tool for working with survey findings and, most importantly, prioritizing focus areas.
