Organizational Excellence

Summary of objective implementation status (achievements or progress over last year; significant delays or issues, etc.)

The first milestone of this project is to review the results of the community satisfaction survey (Organizational Excellence objective 2.1) to better understand how the community interacts with County departments. These survey results were presented to the Board of Supervisors in May 2023. Staff have also begun researching customer service metrics and best practices in other jurisdictions.  Over the next year, staff will develop customer service metrics and identify strategies to improve countywide customer service performance.

Key milestone update (include relevant metrics, if applicable)

The Office of Equity will be consulted in the development and implementation of customer service standards and metrics. 

Funding narrative (If this objective received Strategic Plan funding in year 1 or year 2, please provide a status of expenditures to date.)

No additional funding is needed for the initial phase. Staff will consider whether a consultant is needed to assist in the development of metrics as well as potential costs around data collection or training.  If necessary, staff will look to identify available funding sources.
