How do you benchmark my organisation’s performance?
Benchmark results are an indicator of how your organisation compares to other organisations that are broadly similar. Results are based on your organisation’s industry sector type, its number of employees (small (<20), medium (20-99) or large (100+)), and complexity (legal structure).
You’ll only get a benchmark result with your performance information if there are at least 9 assessments for other organisations with the same sector type, size and complexity.
