Benchmarking Club

Cordis Bright's Benchmarking Club provides an annual comparison of subscribers' performance against peers. It is one of the longest-running benchmarking services in the sector.

The service is aimed mainly at organisations in the independent sector, across adult and children's services. Organisations sign up for a minimum of a year, although most continue their subscriptions for much longer.

What does it offer?

The Benchmarking Club offers you a service which is targeted exclusively at the social care sector, and which benefits from continuous work on indicators, data presentation and interpretation.

Why is it valuable?

Benchmarking is a regular annual exercise that compares a wide range of performance data between subscriber organisations. Members of the Benchmarking Club will benefit from a service which:

• Gathers and compares several hundred data points from subscribing clients, in areas such as finance, HR, corporate performance issues and satisfaction ratings
• Analyses the data and produces reports for subscribers showing how their organisations are performing against peers
• Provides each subscriber with a tailored, face-to-face management session, highlighting key findings and strategic implications

Who is it for?

The Benchmarking Club is for independent social care organisations and registered social landlords. The size of subscribing organisations varies from turnovers of around £4.5m to £60m.

The service is aimed primarily at chief executives, directors, senior management teams and performance management departments.
