The Department uses two main measures to monitor performance on the Work Programme. The main Departmental indicator is the proportion of claimants for whom providers have achieved a Job Outcome payment within 12 and 24 months of joining the Work Programme (endorsed by the UK Statistics Authority as the most appropriate measure to gauge Work Programme performance).
