The Personnel Cost Analysis reports appear in the Operating Results section of Benchmark. They provide two primary metrics for evaluating staffing investment relative to organizational scale.
Key Metrics
Personnel as a % of Total Operating Expense
Formula: Personnel Cost ÷ Total Operating Expenses × 100
Shows what proportion of your operating budget is allocated to staffing. Useful for peer comparison and budget planning.
G&A Staffing as a % of Staffing Expense
Formula: G&A Staffing Cost ÷ Personnel Cost × 100
Measures administrative overhead within your total staffing spend. G&A includes Administration, Finance, Information Services, and Human Resources.
