Benchmarks

To secure our position as thought leaders, PeopleMetrics regularly conducts independent research on topics related to Employee Engagement. This data forms a large part of our benchmarking capabilities, as we believe independent data provides a more reliable external comparison for our clients than a “convenience” sample of client data.

For best performing, industry-specific, regional or other comparisons, we also have the capability to share external benchmarks. Overall, PeopleMetrics has external benchmarks from over 700,000 employee interviews across a number of industries around the world.

PeopleMetrics recommends three types of Employee Engagement benchmarks:

• Independent: Compare your performance to the current state of engagement across regions and countries around the world.
  
  
• Internal: Evaluate your performance relative to others in the organization and emulate your very best workgroups.
  
  
• Historical: Assess the success of interventions and actions carried out as a result of a baseline study or previous survey initiatives.

Benchmarks are available for every question in the E40, including the REAP questions (retention, effort, advocacy and passion).
