The Commissioner for Labour monitors the effectiveness of performance pledges and publish our achievements annually.
A Customer Liaison Group (CLG) has been formed to collect feedback from users of the department's pledged services. A new group is formed every two years. The CLG is chaired by the Deputy Commissioner for Labour (Labour Administration) with members coming from users of various pledged services. In 2023, members of the CLG expressed satisfaction with our standard of service, and gave valuable advice and suggestions for improvement.
