Promoter-centred service

Since 1996, the Agency has measured promoter (its clientele) satisfaction on a yearly basis. A telephone survey is conducted by an independent polling firm, using questions from the Common Measurements Tool. An in-house satisfaction report is drafted by the Departmental Performance Branch, and measures are taken with regard to the results.

Service standards were established in 2000. Compliance with these standards is evaluated regularly based on the findings of the telephone survey and internal reports. Corrective measures are taken where applicable.

The Agency's Web site and a corporate leaflet help provide promoters with information concerning service standards. The Performance Report also presents compliance with service standards and measurement of promoter satisfaction.
