Examples of KPls include a count of customers served, a count of services performed, the average time to complete a service, etc. They are closely related to the AU Os and should reflect the unit's core function or purpose.

8 b) Summarize any changes or findings. The number of employees has increased steadily over the past several years with some classifications increasing by as much as 42%. This increase has resulted in a significant increase of workload across the board for all departments within the Human Resources Division. Understanding this information and translating it into the specific needs of the department is a priority for the Human Resources Leadership Team. The Workers' Compensation/Safety Department has worked tirelessly to control costs. This work has resulted in a reduction in the number of Workers' Compensation claims and was partially achieved by implementing a highly effective first aid program. The efforts in these areas have significantly reduced the Workers' Compensation rates issued by SISC. The increase to complaints and investigations has impacted the Division as we work towards resolving these issues. An effective complaint handling system allows resolution in a timely and cost effective manner. Complaints are also an effective tool that can lead to improvements in service delivery. With this in mind, we must consider this data when we look at our future staffing needs. a) List the Goals from the prior year. Indicate the status and list an anticipated completion date if not complete. Were unit outcomes met and/or what findings were realized in the process? [starting in B, this will relate directly to the goals and outcomes listed in section five] Prior Goals Status Strategic Plan AUO Outcomes and/or Findings Alignment Alignment 1.
