How we are performing

Annual Performance Analysis

Our annual performance analysis provides a detailed review of how well we are meeting our priorities and delivering services. It looks at progress against key performance indicators, highlights areas of improvement, and compares our results with previous years and national benchmarks. This helps us understand what’s working well and where we need to focus to improve outcomes for communities.

What the analysis covers

  • Service performance trends – progress against strategic priorities and targets
  • Financial results – budget performance and resource use
  • Benchmarking – comparisons with other councils and national standards
  • Improvement actions – areas identified for change and plans to address them
  • Community outcomes – impact on people and places across the Highlands

These findings are published as part of our annual Corporate Performance Reports.
