Benchmarking

Once you receive the results of your employee survey, it is important to be able to put them into perspective. Is a score of 5.1 good or bad? It depends on the scale that is used and who you are comparing yourself to. If you score a 5.1 for leadership on a scale of 1 to 10, this might seem to be a low score. But what if the average UK score for leadership is a 4.2? That will give your result a completely different value.

Effectory has different ways of benchmarking. We make reports based on background variable such as gender, tenure and age (respondent characteristics). Moreover, we make internal benchmarks amongst teams and other organisational units. Companies can be compared with other companies in a particular industry or a geographical region.

Furthermore, there are time relevant benchmarks: employee attitudes evolve along the economical climate changes. And last but not least: functional benchmarks. This means that we can compare a sales department with other sales departments. In fact, a sales person has different attitudinal drivers than an accountant or an employee from IT.
