TITLE:  PENSION BENCHMARKING SERVICES

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), through the
Pension Services Directorate (PSD) requires benchmarking
services to capture performance measures relevant to its pension
administration processes in order to make better business
decisions relating to pension service improvements.

Benchmarking enables PWGSC/PSD to compare costs with other
similar Canadian (public) pension administrations and see what
exists in the way of better business practices it might
incorporate to improve its pension administrative services. 
Methods to improve pension administration services have come
from discussions with benchmarking participants in relation to
new business practices and technology aimed at the enhancement
of service delivery to contributors and annuitants/survivors
alike.
