What is involved in applying this tool to your organization?
As it is only a one day top level assessment as an add-on to your current registration the process is simple and involves 3 phases.
Phase 1: Assessment & Verification
One or two independent auditors will review with your members of staff (at all levels) how well the 7 elements (as discussed in the methodology) work within your organization by asking them a series of questions. Each question will subsequently be given a score which will then be weighted and contribute to the final overall total.
Phase 2: Reporting
At the end of each assessment a closing meeting will be held with the auditors and the organization to present the final scores and deliver suggested actions for improvement. Following the closing meeting the auditors will complete the final report of the site’s performance and send it to the organization for review.
Phase 3: Training & Development
If any areas of weakness have been particularly highlighted during the assessment then you may want to consider some further training to help members of the organization improve or indeed develop a customized BenchMark assessment that will give your organization more in-depth understanding of the nature and severity of the problems that have been identified.
In order to successfully measure the organization's improvement we suggest conducting a similar assessment each year over a 3-year period.
A typical process is highlighted below:
