Ways HR Can Really Add Value to the Goal Setting Process

Are you running the dreaded & boring annual #goalsetting exercise in your organization right now? Elevate your role from just being a dashboard maker.

As #humanresources , what most of us end up doing during the crucial #performancemanagement step is:

– Launch the goal-setting process with the only intent to ensure everyone completes their step by the given deadline.
– Run 1-2 workshops to educate employees on what’s to be done and where.
– Monitor the progress, escalate to senior leaders when teams are delayed.
– Share the Dashboard with CXOs.

All these steps are needed, however, what is also important is:

– Helping employees make SMART goal sheets.
Helping employees make goal sheets that inspire them to come to work everyday.
– Equipping employees with information to make their SMART goal sheets.
– Aligning the goal sheets to take care of inter & intra departmental synergies.
– Ensuring across all goal sheets of a team, there are no missing links or gaps that could make the ball drop.

Hence as #talentmanagement SME or #hrbusinesspartner it is important for you to know how to do all this. And you would only know once you swim deep.
