BR|E Benchmarking Challenge 2022

When we talk to employers about plans to expand, workforce, or barriers to growth, their direct answers only give a flavor for the situation in our community. True context for their responses is only available when a benchmark creates a meaningful point of comparison. The comparison tells us if our community is better than, on par with, or at a disadvantage to other communities.

The goal of the Benchmarking Challenge is to set national and hopefully regional benchmarks for critical issues we discuss in business retention. Issues like workforce, employment recovery, business growth, plans to expand, growth barriers, and community issues.

These benchmarks are vital to our understanding of local issues. They provide context. CREC in association with C2ER, Business Retention and Expansion International (BREI), and the Synchronist User Community are continuing the national benchmarking project; with YOUR help. Our goal is to interview 2,000 primary (or ‘traded’) sector business executives to gauge the health of our most important community assets, primary sector businesses and the challenges they face.

By participating in this unique – time-limited national BR|E project you will gain access to the full benchmarking report.
