How the industry benchmark score is determined
Organizations within the same industry are identified in our system when they select an industry benchmark in Engagement feature settings. We use the Engagement Scores from all campaigns that each of these organizations have completed and determine an industry average. The Engagement Score from your most recent engagement assessment is compared against this average. This comparison is based on the results of other engagement customers at the point that your survey is closed. The active list of organizations in the benchmark can and will change as our data set and customer index change.
