Performance reporting

This section provides detailed information about the specific outputs provided and the activities carried out during 2006/07 that contributed to the Department's long-term goals and medium-term priorities.

The goals are those set out in the Department's Statement of Intent for 2006/07.

• Our place in the world: New Zealand will prosper through its connections with the rest of the world.
• Our workplaces: New Zealand workplaces will lead the world in maximising the value of work while providing a high-quality working life.
• Our workforce: The skills of our workers will ensure New Zealand enterprises are leaders internationally.
• Our people: All New Zealanders will be able to grow and develop through access to well-paid and meaningful employment.

In this section similar outputs are grouped into output classes within each of the four Votes: Labour, Immigration, Employment, and ACC. There is no simple one-to-one relationship between the Votes and output classes, and the long-term goals and the medium-term priorities associated with them. Each Vote and output class may have contributed to more than one goal. The medium-term priorities that a particular output class contributed to are listed under each output class in the Vote sections in this part of the Annual Report.
