Benchmarking

How do your programs and facilities compare with other Campus Recreation departments across North America?

Benchmarking is a powerful way of demonstrating this comparison, and the Online Risk Assessment provides graphic benchmark data for your department.

Benchmark Data
a) External benchmarking data

  1. Total department score plus percentile ranking
  2. Graphic comparison of department score with other institutions

analysis

The Risk Management Best Practice program provides institutionally-specific feedback allowing our University Recreation department to prioritize areas for improvement to enhance the safety and well-being of our participants.  The thorough analysis by areas of operations provides our staff tangible information to determine our next steps and most effective course of action.  This feedback would take much longer and be less objective if we attempted to undertake the reviews on our own. The comparative data is good for learning trends in best practices of other institutions.
