In its 2001-2002 RPP, HRDC commits to introducing "a Client Service Charter and Service Standards for our Income Security Program activities."  HRDC also commits to using the findings from client surveys to "identify client expectations and priorities, develop improvement plans, set annual client satisfaction targets and modify our service standards." (pg. 49).  HRDC also operates a number of telecentres which have specific service standards; however, they do not appear in the RPP or DPR or on the website.  In addition, Employment Insurance Income Benefits has a timeliness service standard for Appeals, but it does not appear in the RPP or DPR or on the website.
