HR Benchmarking Technology Is Faster, Easier to Use

R leaders interested in how they stack up to competitors in key performance areas have a wealth of benchmarking data at their disposal.

Those vendors also are addressing some of the historical drawbacks of using benchmarking data: technological limitations, long lag times and reports that were not user friendly. Advancements in data aggregation practices and new data visualization tools are helping. But getting timely, relevant data is only one part of the benchmarking challenge for HR. Experts say using that data to move beyond mere imitation of peer practices to driving continuous improvement on key metrics may be an even more important goal for human resource functions.
