Who should I share Benchmarks information with?
Benchmarks information provides real insight into what other
local care providers pay their staff and how they are doing in terms of
recruiting and retaining staff.
You can give different roles in your workplace
viewing rights in ASC-WDS by adding them as a read only user. Roles that would
find Benchmarks useful are Registered Managers, HR managers, Operations
Managers, Directors and Nominated Individuals.
