The HR Benchmarking exercise provided a very robust and thorough analysis which enables our team to consider where our strengths lie and where our effectiveness could be improved.

Here at The Co-operative Financial Services we place great importance in tracking our progress to becoming the UK's most admired financial services business so measurement and benchmarking are key to us. The ABI Benchmarking study managed by Agenda Consulting enables us to measure and benchmark our key organisational People measures and the performance of our Human Resources function.

The Insurance HR Benchmarking Survey provides valuable HR data across our industry which cannot be readily obtained elsewhere. The results were of great interest, particularly those around cost and headcount across the various functions. In addition, the data allows us to measure the efficiency of a number of our processes and practices.

Paul Cann, HR Director, Groupama

At LBG Insurance, we have been working with the ABI and Agenda Consulting on the Insurance Industry HR Benchmarking. We have now got some very useful data which is helping us with our thinking and how we can best help drive the performance of our business. As we broaden the participants for the survey in 2010 I am looking forward to more comprehensive benchmarking

Kate Guthrie, HR Director, Lloyds Banking Group

Participating in the benchmarking survey has provided me with valuable data about our business and the insurance sector as a whole which has helped to highlight areas of strength and those areas which we need to work on. The way that the data is presented, particularly the colour coding of the percentage rankings which illustrate where our results differ from the whole sample makes the data accessible and easy to interpret. I have enjoyed working with Agenda who have been extremely proactive in managing the survey and always on hand to provide support and guidance.
