KPIs

At South Essex Homes we believe that transparency and accountability are key to achieving this goal. That's why we are committed to regularly reporting on our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

KPIs are essential metrics that help us measure our performance and ensure that we are meeting the needs and expectations of our residents. As you scroll down this webpage, you will find detailed insights into various aspects of our operations, including Building Safety, Repairs, Complaints, and more.

By sharing this information with you, we aim to foster trust and demonstrate our dedication to continuous improvement. We value your feedback and look forward to working together to deliver the best service we can.

Key:

  • Improving = Improving
  • Stable (up to +/- 1%) = stable
  • Worsening = worsening
