Organisational performance

Assessment of performance against decent work goals can be a challenging task, but a necessary one for analyzing effectiveness and impact. We assist clients in developing appropriate targets and performance indicators relevant to their strategy which capture the effectiveness of management processes and the consequences of programmes within their spheres of influence.

A key element is the design of internal reporting processes which produce credible information, but equally, deploying analytical techniques that take account of the type and quality of information available is important for generating conclusions that can be used to improve decent work interventions.
