Business Benefits Group, a Fairfax Employee Benefits Brokerage, recently released a blog discussing the benefits of HR benchmarking in improving organizational practices. HR Benchmarking is the process of assessing qualitative and quantitative data of similar organizations to periodically improve an organization's human resource practices.

The first element of the HR benchmarking process includes competitive analysis. This requires research to determine how other businesses run by looking at their staff in terms of salary, benefits, and job positions. This is also known as external benchmarking that can help your business out perform and stay ahead. Another major benefit of HR benchmarking is how it improves your recruiting, retention, and benefits program. Your company will receive assistance in attracting some of the best talent and keeping them at the same time by redesigning your compensation package and benefits program to stay attractive to new and existing employees.

Assessing and improving employee engagement is extremely important. To tame your high turnover rate, HR benchmarking will help improve the employee experience and strengthen any professional development programs. Pinpointing these possible issues will ensure that low-performing employees don't slip through the cracks. A major benefit of HR benchmarking is helping you encourage employees to take on leadership roles. Overall, this prepares the company for whenever there is a change in the leadership roles by having people properly trained to fill them.
