Results & Benchmarking

Is Your Engagement Score
Actually Good — Or Just Better
Than Last Year?

Context transforms data into intelligence. Benchmarking your engagement, culture, and HR metrics against industry peers, regional employers, and high-performing organizations turns scores into strategic signals.

Why Benchmarking Changes Decisions

A 68% Favorable Score Means Nothing Without Context.

Without benchmarks, leadership debates whether a score is good or bad based on gut feel and last year’s number. With benchmarks, you know exactly where you stand — and which gaps are worth closing first.

External benchmarking against industry, region, company size, and tenure cohorts
Benchmarking across all engagement and culture dimensions — not just overall score
Year-over-year internal trend analysis to track progress
Identification of your top-quartile strengths and bottom-quartile gaps
Priority matrix: which gaps have the highest correlation with turnover and disengagement?

We were proud of our 71% engagement score until we benchmarked it. Healthcare employers in our size range average 78%. That context changed our entire planning conversation.
