About this Template
Goal setting in the workplace is an important part of individual, departmental, and company-wide success. When employees achieve goals, they feel fulfilled and accomplished. It can also push them to work towards a promotion or pay raise. In general, goals should be:
- Divided between short and long term;
- Easy to measure;
- Set against duties and tasks for specific jobs;
- Developed from KPIs and KPAs as set out by the company; and
- Aligned with personal aspirations, like promotions and job satisfaction.
As mentioned, there are 2 types of goals which could be focused on in business, namely, short and long term. Short term goals should be achieved within three to six months, while long term goals should be achieved within one year.
Distribution
Once finalised, the short and long term goals should be appropriately marketed throughout the company. Make your goals visible by printing them out and hanging them in high traffic areas in the office. Doing so will keep your goals in mind during day-to-day operations.
