Employer Engagement Target 2010 to 2011

Target: 91%

What is this target?

This target measures how well we deliver our services to employers. Our target for 2010-2011 is to achieve 91% in the delivery of services to employers according to the standards we have set for our business.

How does it work?

This target is measured under four headings:

Measure Contribution How it is measured
Outcome 70% Employers who respond "Yes" in a phone questionnaire to:
Was the vacancy filled? (35%)

Was the vacancy filled in a timescale that met your needs? (35%)
Accessibility 12% Availability of the Employer Direct online service (5%)

Proportion of calls answered by Employer Direct (7%)
Timeliness 3% Employer Direct calls answered in 30 seconds
Accuracy and professionalism 15% A sample of Employer Direct calls and vacancies taken assessed against call quality management standards

These four elements make up the overall national target of 91%.

Employer Engagement Target data is updated each quarter (April – June, July – September, October – December, January – March).
