Benchmarking - Metric of the Month
Benchmarking your performance against your peers is a crucial first step in any improvement efforts – no matter if you’re addressing your team’s training, processes or automation. After all, you can’t know where to concentrate your energies if you don’t know where there’s the most opportunity for more efficient or effective performance.
