Benchmark Governance

Benchmark governance is the set of controls ensuring a benchmark is run impartially — separating its operation from any party that could profit by moving it and keeping its methodology transparent.

Strong governance, as set out in the IOSCO benchmark principles, is what lets unrelated parties trust the same number enough to cite it in contracts and research.

WorkForce administers its index under this model so the figure cannot be quietly tilted toward any participant’s interest.
