Abstract

The Best Practices Budget and Staffing Benchmark Guide provides budget and staffing benchmark data for the following business functions:
  • Marketing: Marketing Strategy, Marketing Operations and Communications and Market Research (34 participants)
  • E-Business (30 participants)
  • Federal and State Government Affairs (12 participants)
  • Corporate and Executive Communications (18 participants)
Executives and managers can compare their business functions, budgets and FTE (Full Time Equivalent Resources) counts to the industry as a whole, using the following key metrics:
  • FTE per Activity (activities are customized for each business function)
  • FTE Allocation by Broad Business Function
  • Budget Allocation per Business Function
  • Budget Allocation per FTE
  • Budget Allocation Expressed as a Percentage of Sales
  • Sales Per FTE
  • Efficiency Ratios
Best Practices Budget and Staffing Benchmark Guide (180 PowerPoint slides) allows companies to critically evaluate their budgets and staffing levels in order to enhance organizational efficiencies.

To ensure organizational health and competitiveness, companies must continually identify optimal resource levels for their operations. Sometimes, companies need to grow resources, while at other times, the need is to defend or shrink resources. Best Practices Budget and Staffing Benchmark Guide allows executives to critically assess the efficiency of key business functions: Marketing, E-Business, Federal and State Government Affairs and Corporate and Executive Communications.

Budgeting and staffing data compiled for this study was collected from 72 leading companies (see participant list below). Many of the companies provided data for multiple business functions. On average 18 companies participated in each study and make up the benchmark class.

If you have to defend or validate budget and staffing resource decisions, the Best Practices Budget and Staffing Benchmark Guide will prove invaluable.

*Staffing and Budget data was compiled for the 2005-2006 cycle, but can be applied to project future budget cycles.
