When we launched this year’s Benchmark Study in mid-February, we had no idea that the COVID-19 pandemic was about to unfold, drastically changing the way we all do everything. We are grateful that so many ER leaders were willing and able to make this Study a priority during this time (and certainly understand the challenges of those who just could not participate this year!). The result was the broadest Benchmark Study yet, with participation from more than 200 enterprise organizations, representing over 5.5 million employees globally.
