Benchmark employee experience

At the heart of our business intelligence tool sits the Leesman Lmi, a functionality and effectiveness score that is calculated for every workplace measured. By deploying one of our surveys you automatically become part of the Leesman Index, the largest employee experience database in the world. Since our launch in 2010, we have gathered vast amounts of comparative data from thousands of global workplaces, against which you can benchmark your workplace.

The power of benchmarking

Benchmarking is an invaluable tool that offers clarity and fuel to support decision-making within organisations. Through our completely independent, evidence-based index you can better understand how your employee experience compares to others, and thereby identify key areas for investment and improvement. Organisations of all sizes and types can benefit from benchmarking, and the results are relevant to everyone from facilities managers to CEOs. By seeing what works for the top-performing workplaces you can make decisions with confidence, armed with actual facts rather than opinion.
