1 Key Performance Indicators and Service Level Definitions An understanding of Key s and Service Level Standards within Rykneld Homes Ltd Page 1 of 3

2 1. Introduction This handbook has been created to give the reader an understanding of the Key Performance Indicators and Service Level Standards agreed by the Senior Management Team within Rykneld Homes and validated by North East Derbyshire District Council per financial year. 2. What do we measure? Rykneld Homes measures indicators represented by the following Performance and Quality categories: Tenant Involvement and Empowerment Home Tenancy Neighbourhood and Community Value for Money (VFM), Financial Viability and Governance Workforce. Within each of these categories there are company specific targets which are reported on a monthly basis and analysed for any further improvement needed where a target is not met. This is highlighted by the relevant Service Manager and Performance and Quality Manager and is managed by the relevant member of staff/team. Where a target is met, this process is managed business as usual. A copy of all the specific KPI s are attached to the back of the document (Appendix 1 those KPI s highlighted in bold are new targets identified for 2013/2014) 3. How do we measure the KPI s and Service Levels? For each indicator, there may be a different way to report the results as they cover all aspects of the business and often require a narrative to explain the progression of an indicator result. Often the business will use the relevant software systems to monitor performance, for instance, Rykneld Homes has a Contact Centre where all calls from tenants, partners and external bodies are received, as a matter of marketing, tenant agreements, tenant property repairs etc The Contact Centre Service Manager will use MacFarlane, this is a software system used to record and report all calls received and made by the Contact Centre, with detail such as; the length of each call, how many were lost or abandoned, how long the caller has been waiting etc. These results will offer the Service Manager a view of when the Contact Centre is at its most busy i.e. the first working day following a bank holiday, where we have had extreme weather conditions, or where the calls may be sporadic the Team Leaders will be able to resource appropriately. These outside influences could demonstrate a part of the business which may be not hitting a target for that month but when viewed for the relevant quarter it may not affect it significantly Page 2 of 3

3 and thus the target met as agreed. Tolerances to the target will often be documented to show an element of flexibility in our approach. 4. What are Tolerances? Tolerances are often given to an indicator where variation to a target has to be factored in to demonstrate flexibility in the nature of our business and gives us the opportunity to meet a realistic standard and/or target. 5. Why does Rykneld Homes use Tolerances? Tolerances are allocated to certain indicators and documented on the Monthly Performance Reports/Balanced Score Card. Tolerances are often referred to in the indicator narrative or through discussion at Board Meetings. Tolerances are offered to both: Predictable Targets These are where a target can be set i.e. we are certain following previous year s results and managing a business as usual process, there is a predictable environment Unpredictable Targets These are where there is a low level of certainty of a measureable target i.e. Welfare Reform 2013 As there are no case studies and it a new way of customers claiming their benefit, we need to give ourselves a realistic target but have a tolerance level that factors in a unpredictable environment Page 3 of 3
