Objectives 


Objectives is a customisable feature; your business may have called it something else (e.g. Priorities, Goals). Performance objectives, also widely referred to as performance goals, are one of the biggest determining factors for employee performance success..


When creating an Objective use SMART:

  • Specific - clear, detailed and meaningful
  • Measurable - quantifiable to track progress against
  • Attainable - realistic to achieve
  • Relevant - align with your job function/the company mission
  • Time-bound - give yourself a deadline


Objectives consist of company, team and personal objectives as well as a new metric with milestones.


Note: Milestone is an optional feature, your business may not have it switched on.


The Progress History tab will now record any edits made to your Objectives including progress changes and other details.
