Have You Benchmarked
Your Bench Strength?

7. Have You Benchmarked Your Bench Strength?
• We refer to our “bench • While we benchmark
strength” in terms of great, business performance
good, adequate, strong compared to other
• But those terms carry little organizations, this
meaning… approach doesn’t work for
• The real question is, benchmarking human
“compared to what?” performance dimensions

8. How Can You Benchmark the “Job”?

9. To Benchmark Human Performance
Dimensions, Let the “Position Speak”
By letting the position speak, our job benchmarking process
enables you to assess the role to determine the behaviors,
motivators, values, personal skills, competencies and task
preferences required for superior performance

10. How to Create the Position Benchmark
• Identify key positions to be benchmarked
• Identify key stakeholders who know the position
• Key stakeholders complete the position
benchmark online (with a link we provide)
• Review the benchmark and compare talent to
the benchmark
• Determine the gaps and devise a strategy for
closing them

11.  Benchmarking Your Bench Strength provides solid metrics for
real performance management
 The Benchmark describes the performance outputs of all current
positions against which to measure your talent pool to plan targeted
coaching and training
 The Benchmark identifies the requirements for new hires

12. How Will Your Success
As A Leader Be Measured?
