The Employee Development and Training
Benchmarking Association™ is an association of professionals
involved in employee development and training that conducts benchmarking
studies to identify the practices that improve the overall operations
of the members.

Benchmarking is the most cost effective way
of introducing best practices to your organization.

What is benchmarking?
Benchmarking is a collaborative learning process
among a group of companies to focus on specific operating practices,
compare measures and results and identify improved processes within
their organizations.
Key Components
- Data gathering in the form of detailed surveys of measures and
processes;
- Identification of best performers; and
- Site visits to the best companies.
Benchmarking looks at best practices
- Internally among divisions;
- Within the industry; and
- Outside the industry - “out-of-box”.
EDTBA™ Mission
To identify "Best
in Class" employee development and training processes, which,
when implemented, will lead member companies to exceptional performance.
EDTBA™ Objectives
