Planning Council Performance
ListenAt the Council planning involves consulting on and setting objectives, quantifying targets for achievement and communicating these targets to others. Corporate planning involves the whole organisation and covers three time periods:
- Long term (approximately 3-10 years)
- Medium term (approximately 3 years)
- Short term (approximately 12-15 months)
The mechanisms that the Council uses to plan and manage performance are:
Long Term |
Sustainable Community Plan |
|
Medium Term |
Medium Term Objectives and |
|
Short Term |
Departmental Service Plans |
|
Section Plans |
|
Employee Performance Appraisal and Planning Scheme |
Departmental Service Plans
To sustain focus over the short-term, the Medium Term Objectives are translated into service delivery priorities through Service Plans.
These Service Plans set out a detailed work programme for the coming twelve months for each of the service departments.
The Plans also indicate the performance standards we set against those activities. Progress against our objectives and activities is reported in Performance Monitoring Reports and a quarterly Corporate Performance Overview Report.
Service Plans form the starting point for the preparation of Section Plans and individual employee appraisals, which establish personal objectives and development plans for the year ahead.
For Service Plans prior to this date please contact the Performance & Partnerships team.

Employee Performance Appraisal and Planning Scheme
Staff are one of the Council’s greatest assets. It is important to provide them with a working environment which encourages and supports employees to develop their expertise, abilities, knowledge and skills in such a way that allows them to develop their potential and maximise their own contribution to the achievement of the Council’s objectives.
