A distinct feature about World Class Benchmarking programs is that we spend very little time in the classroom. We usually are out on the road visiting some of the really great organizations out there. They must be great, because eight of those organizations we have benchmarked showed up this year in Fortune 100 Magazine’s Top 100 Organizations to Work For in 2013. Along with their ranking, they include:
1. Google
17. REI
34. Rackspace Hosting
41. Mayo Clinic
64. Marriott International
65. Darden Restaurants
71. Whole Foods Market
88. Nordstrom
Congratulations to all of these organizations! They are fantastic, and have been great benchmarking partners. Moreover, our participants are continually wowed by these and our other 20 benchmarks that we have used.
If you’re interested in attending, please join us! We have an open enrollment program on May 7-10th here in Orlando, Florida. If you’re attending this May’s ASTD’s International Conference in Dallas, we’ll be there with a pre-program workshop. We’ll also be providing a pre-program workshop this fall in San Diego this year for SHRM’s Strategic Conference. Great events! Don’t miss them.
