Compare results, prioritize action plans through benchmarking

After the survey results are compiled and the reports distributed, the data analysis begins. Management must evaluate the organization's strengths and challenges, and then design action plans to drive change. But which areas should get higher priority in action planning? Without a frame of reference or some type of comparison, a score of 5.4 on a seven-point scale or a 60 percent favorable response holds little meaning.

Normative data is invaluable at this point, providing a framework for relevant comparison. By incorporating normative data into manager reports, you can see how your organization's results compare to relevant groups worldwide — helping you discern which areas to improve first. The Foresight Group's library of worldwide norms represents more than 4.5 million employees through their answers to key employee survey questions.

Here are just some of the specifications of our normative database:

120 countries
6 continents
31 languages
