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

Our department profited greatly by having multiple staff go through the online course. We have long felt that risk management best practices are so pervasively important to all our programs and facilities that it only made sense that our staff members with unique oversight and management of these areas take part in the course. The take-away from this approach has been a unified understanding of the nature of risk management of campus recreation on a macro level with a much more refined appreciation of application within their areas of specialization.
