Benchmarking Jobs: Not Just a Talent Selection Tool

The idea of benchmarking jobs is a very effective first step to ensure getting the right person in the right job. However, that’s just the beginning. For years organizations have been paying top dollar for training, development and coaching, but towards what? Why is a person being developed? What expectations are the coaching and/or training supposed to deliver?

The answer is simple. If the job hasn’t been benchmarked, you don’t know, no one does. Benchmarking should be the first step in any talent related process, period. In order to achieve results and affect change, you must first know what the job is calling for. If the job could talk, what would it say?
