Why do state agencies link to Oregon Benchmarks?

State agencies link to Oregon Benchmarks to help us better understand how government contributes to three societal goals, from the statewide strategic plan called Oregon Shines:   
  • Quality jobs for all Oregonians
  • Engaged, caring and safe communities
  • Healthy, sustainable surroundings these
 
Oregon Benchmarks are the “yardsticks” that track Oregon’s progress. At the same time, state agencies self-link their Key Performance Measures (KPMs) to pertinent Oregon Benchmarks.
