Benchmarking as the foundation for success
"What do turnover or other HR metrics look like for businesses similar to ours? That was something we were always lacking. BambooHR Benchmarks helped validate where we were doing well and things that we needed to improve, especially when talking to leadership."

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the benchmark data come from?
BambooHR Benchmarks data comes from a vast and reliable source: the aggregated, anonymized data of over 34,000 companies and 3 million employees using BambooHR. This ensures the benchmarks reflect real-world trends. We detail our data sources and methodology on our Benchmarks Trust page.
How is my company's data kept secure and anonymous?
Protecting your data is our top priority. All data used for benchmarking is fully aggregated and anonymized, meaning your company's specific information is never identifiable. We adhere to strict security and privacy protocols. Find detailed information about our security practices on the Benchmarks Trust page.
How often is the benchmark data updated?
The data is updated on a daily basis, giving you the most current comparisons available to inform your decisions. Unlike many traditional surveys or reports, BambooHR Benchmarks provides real-time insights.

How does this compare to other benchmarking tools?
