Strategic goals
WorkSafeBC holds itself accountable for meeting its strategic goals and reporting its progress to its stakeholders in an open and accessible manner. To help measure and communicate that progress, WorkSafeBC tracks several key performance indicators. These indicators are tied directly to WorkSafeBC's Strategic Plan and are used to measure WorkSafeBC's progress against its major corporate goals.
Beyond simply acting as a balanced scorecard, these performance indicators provide direction, promote accountability, promote cross-divisional thinking, and provide an explicit link between objectives and actions.
Although there are several performance measures used within each division at WorkSafeBC, the following table shows the main indicators of WorkSafeBC's organizational performance as a whole. They reflect the broadest and most fundamental objectives set out in the WorkSafeBC's strategic plan, and collectively they provide a bird's-eye view of the WorkSafeBC's operational performance.
