2002/03 Annual Service Plan Report
Ministry of Human Resources

Summary of Performance Targets

Because 2002/03 was the first year of the ministry's performance measurement system, most measures were not assigned targets in the ministry's service plan, but rather set out to establish baselines for future comparison. This was necessary, as the ministry was in the process of overhauling most of its major programs, making it difficult to establish targets. In four cases, targets for measures were set in the service plan, and they are reported in this report and summarized in the table below. Three of the four targets were achieved, and in the fourth case (measure 1.1), program changes made the target unnecessary.

Performance Targets 2002/03 Service Plan
Target in 2002/03 Service Plan Achievement Status Comments
All BCEA clients have signed Employment and Assistance Agreements (Measure 1.1). Partial BC Employment and Assistance Agreements originally included both an application for income assistance and an employment plan. The target became unnecessary due to program changes that removed the requirement that all clients (which include children and persons with disabilities, for example) complete employment plans. During the fiscal year, all BCEA clients completed application forms and 51,814 clients completed employment plans.
100 per cent of people requiring short term disaster assistance receive assistance (Measure 3.3). Completed All 2,871 people who required short-term disaster assistance received that assistance.
Complete feasibility design for electronic service delivery by end of 2002/03 (Measure 4.1). Completed The ministry expanded its use of information technology to include a number of electronic service delivery tools, such as an income assistance estimator, a child care subsidy estimator, a web-based orientation for clients and e-learning services for staff.
The majority of contracts are performance-based by 2003/04 (Measure 4.2). Completed By the end of 2002/03, one hundred per cent of contracts with service providers were performance-based.
The targets for all other 2002/03 measures were to establish baselines, as most of the ministry's programs were new. Completed Baselines were established.
