Executive summary

The objective of this Review is to improve service delivery and performance management in the JKL company. The Service Delivery and Performance Management Review was conducted from 10 June to 30 September 2018. An extensive consultation process was undertaken including internal and external stakeholders consulted and various responses received to a management level staff survey.

The JKL has made significant advances for past five years in forklift and trucks sales and there are a number of areas of positive performance where the organisation is demonstrating best practice. This includes work within a number of specialist areas such as rental market which focus on analysing and the investigating in current organisational structure. The Operational Performance Review initiative, which places an emphasis on the analysis of crime trends and local problems provides the focus to establish operational and organisational priorities for improved performance has also received favourable comment from both within and external to the JKL.

The operational policing role is complex and subject to continuing pressures from government, the community and other stakeholders. While the performance of the JKL in this area has improved significantly it is once again confronted by many of the same issues. There continue to be increasing demands for service created by changes to legislation and policy, the JKL taking on roles for other government agencies and increasing community expectations. The Review found that to date the JKL has taken on these additional demands resulting in resources being stretched to the limit and recruit employee from within the company and upskill existing employees in rentals. While the preferred approach for police in terms of service delivery is an effective mix between reactive policing, prevention and targeted problem oriented policing, in some high workload areas there is currently little opportunity to provide more than a reactive response. The current approach of increasing police resources to manage both population growth and these additional responsibilities is not sustainable.

As there are many services option which are available to choose for HR mangers, service level agreement is best way to be in a superior position because everything terms are mentioned in SLA and ought to get compensation if there is conflict by parties

It is anticipated that with successful progression of initiatives already underway within the JKL and the implementation of the Review’s recommended improvements in the next few years, the organisation will be better positioned to improve its service delivery, reach an embedded level of maturity for most elements of performance management and become an organisation that combines good policing, good governance and good business practice.
