The struggles of benchmarking

Even though benchmarking is crucial, it definitely comes with its fair share of challenges. Let’s take a look at some of the most common ones and see if any of them sound familiar to you.

 

Complexity

Staying compliant can be tough. Things like regional differences, changing regulations, and the need for solid benchmarking knowledge can slow things down.

Resources

Depending on your company’s size, you might not have the budget, database, or team to keep up with compliance.

Uniqueness

Your business might need a custom solution that fits your specific needs.

up-to-date and in-house

Stay ready

The best advice for keep things manageable is to stay up-to-date. Compliance expectations change constantly! Our recommendation would be to subscribe to newsletters, follow key figures on social media, or to work with providers who monitor these changes for you.

Keep it in-house

The biggest cost of benchmarking often comes from outsourcing. With a tool and a bit of training, your company can perform this task internally, reducing the need to hire specialists.

help and customization

Get what you need

There are still other problems that could occur:

Adding Expert help

If budget isn’t the issue but knowledge or staff capacity is, consider bringing in expert help. A consultant can offer valuable second opinions, and combining a tool with expert help can keep costs low while giving extra assurance.

Make it your own

Your situation may be unique. In that case some customization will help you out. You can request a consultation from a specialist or we can help you personalise your data to match your needs.
