According to Shopify, Benchmarking is a process of measuring the performance of a company’s products, services, or processes against those of another business considered to be the best in the industry, also known as “best in class.”

The point of benchmarking is to identify internal opportunities for improvement.
In the process of benchmarking their salaries, the authority said it would use the market- based approach to design ERA’s remuneration structures (management, non-management and Scarce Skills remuneration structures).

The institution issued an expression of interest to interested companies to conduct the salary benchmarking with comparable public and private sector entities.

In the request for proposal, it was explained that the outcome of the exercise would be to come up with remuneration structures aligned to their task job grade structure.
