As facilities managers, we should be constantly trying to improve the services we offer. But how do we know if we’re making the grade?

One of the tools we can use is benchmarking. It’s a term you may have heard before, but what does it actually mean? And how do we go about doing it?

This course will answer these questions and more. We’ll look at exactly what benchmarking actually is and the different types of benchmarking as well as explaining how to undertake a benchmarking exercise and some of the pitfalls to look out for.
