Abstract: The paper presents the main findings of the project 'Benchmarking employment performance and labour market policies' conducted by the Research Network of the European Employment Observatory, under the direction of the author. After a preliminary overview of the analytical areas covered and the topics contained in the project report (para. 2), the paper considers the role of benchmarking in the implementation of the European Employment Strategy (para. 3). It goes on to present the main results and observations deriving from the whole project (para. 4), discussing some of the conceptual and methodological issues arising from the use of benchmarking techniques to foster convergence in labour market efficiency, employment performance, labour market policies and firms' human resource management. Some brief concluding remarks (para. 6) address the institutional implications that arise in the implementation of an effective benchmarking procedure aimed at meeting the requirements of the European Employment Strategy.
