Performance Reporting — Continued

Goal 2: Organizational Excellence

1) Organizational Development and Planning

Another performance measure is the per cent of staff with completed performance and development plans. The 50% target was exceeded and all staff had plans in place for 2002/03

2) Switch to Electronic Documentation

In April 2002, the Environmental Assessment Office moved its server to a new host ministry (Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management). As a result, the web site visit statistics for 2002/03 were calculated differently than in previous years. The implementation of the new electronic Project Information System (ePIC) in January 2003 required a further change to the way web site traffic is calculated. This will be reflected in subsequent year's reporting and will require the collection of new base data starting January 2003 to reflect the new approach to statistical reporting.

The reported 12% increase in website visitors is based on number of unique IP addresses that accessed the Environmental Assessment Office website each month from April to December, 2002. Similarly, the reported 25% increase in website hits is determined based on the number of Environmental Assessment Office website pages viewed for this period compared to this same period in 2001. The Environmental Assessment Office's new host server does not provide website traffic statistics in terms of visits (i.e., total visiting users) that are comparable to data collected in previous years.
