Manage Individual Goals

Individual Goals

Goals are defined to enhance an employee’s skill set and provide supplemental information for performance reviews.

The employee Goals page is used by managers and employees to establish individual goals. Individual goals, defined as the manager's or employee's desired results, are usually established upfront, directing employees in accomplishing specific tasks within a given time frame.
