At Cancer Research UK, we place great emphasis on internal trends. People Count statistics help balance this by providing valuable information on organisational and sector trends against which we can benchmark our performance.

David Oliver, HR Policy Advisor, Cancer Research UK

People Count provided data for comparison in planning our HR review. It identified areas where data was not available internally.

Liz Hunter, HR Manager, Childhood First

The beauty of People Count is that it provides benchmarking information for our organisation on HR issues that is not available through any other route. Because it is relevant to what we do, we can use it to improve our performance.

John Bartle, Nottingham Community Housing Association

The feedback and useful information from People Count has enabled us to focus on key business issues for the organisation.

Karen Croan, HR Director, Quarriers

I found that comparison with our peers shed a different light on certain aspects of our benchmarking data. It enabled us to see exactly how we compared to similar care organisations and was very useful in identifying where we differed and what we needed to concentrate on.

Sue Chand, Assistant Director (Human Resources), St Annes Community Services

I appreciated the opportunity to gain a clear picture of how we are doing. It was reassuring to find out that we aren't doing too badly!

Clare Fielden, HR Manager, BSVC, The Centre for Voluntary Action

Voluntary organisations can benefit from People Count by comparing their HR performance with those of their peers. This allows them to share good practice as well as the opportunity to develop a more strategic approach to human resource management.
