Having led and participated in hundreds of job benchmarks, here are some of the things I’ve learned about TTI Success Insights’ job benchmarking process: - Because our job benchmarking process is client driven, **the client is the one who decides why the position exists** by examining key accountabilities (big picture results) as opposed to tasks. - It’s important to have a diverse panel of subject matter experts, or SMEs, that can have a healthy discussion about the position, but **be willing to come to a consensus.** - The job benchmarking process is **a great way to examine culture change** or create a position that has never existed before because the focus is first on why the position exists. - Sometimes you realize **you all have a different type of employee in mind**. I once conducted a job benchmark in which we were identifying key accountabilities for a project manager position and the client realized that no one was thinking of a project manager in the same way, so it was no wonder that some project managers were debated as being more successful than others. - TTI Success Insights’ **job benchmarks yield profitable results**. Our case studies indicate increased productivity, engagement and overall profitability when job benchmarks are conducted in organizations of all sizes, markets and industries.
