ECHA has now published an overview of results of the stakeholder survey that it conducted in November 2012. These results provide feedback on ECHA's achievements in meeting a number of its annual work programme indicator targets. The Work Programme follows ECHA's activity based management approach, and in 2012 it was divided into 17 activities. Each activity has a set of performance indicators. The annual stakeholder survey also provides ECHA with valuable input on how stakeholders perceive the work performed by ECHA. The detailed findings of the survey give an indication on whether ECHA is on the right track and in what areas it could improve. Overall satisfaction levels compiled from the raw data of the survey will be published in ECHA's General Report in March 2013. ECHA would like to use this opportunity to thank all those who took their time to answer the survey. Open positions |
