Benchmarks Help Employers Define What's "Normal" in Employee Surveys

Some employers are shocked by low ratings on employee surveys, but some topics, such as career advancement opportunities, always seem to get low ratings. Benchmark norms provide a critical frame of reference when human resources professionals try to interpret survey results. Performance Programs recently updated its norm database, which was started in 1997 and has nearly 100,000 responses for 85 questionnaire items. Employers can obtain norms for general business or for one of 16 industries and categories including nonprofits. Multinational organizations are well represented in the database. Norms are available whether Performance Programs performs the survey or not. There is no minimum purchase.
