Benchmarking in HR - external and/or internal Benchmarks?

Benchmarking in HR

Useful comparison of KPIs with functionHR

Benchmarks in HR management help to identify room for improvement in the company. There are two basic approaches to making useful comparisons: external and internal benchmarking.

Both approaches offer unique advantages, but also have their limitations. This is why functionHR’s software solution combines the external and internal view in order to generate maximum insight.

Internal Benchmarking with functionHR

With functionHR you build up your internal benchmarking step by step. Two approaches lead to maximum knowledge gain in internal benchmarking: Learning from the best in the company and monitoring your progress over time.

While external benchmarking provides an initial anchor for comparison, you can use internal benchmarking to think about self-optimization in a long-term approach.

Comparison of KPIs within the company

For example, when benchmarking externally, you find that your employees are already more satisfied compared to competitors?

This does not have to mean that there are not sections with higher and lower levels of satisfaction within your organization. functionHR’s software allows a deep dive into the organizational structure. Smart filter options thus enable intra-company comparisons.
