FAQs - Benchmarking and Saratoga

Why benchmark?
Benchmarking provides you with essential information to measure the competitive impact of your human capital policies and practices. the Benchmarking process can assist you in tracking your organisational performance, identifying performance gaps and providing stakeholders and internal partners with solid comparative data. Benchmarking can also provide you with answers to the following:

  • What are the best practice characteristics within your industry?
  • What is absenteeism, recruitment and staff turnover costing your organisation?
  • What is the return on investment for each full-time employee?
