Employee Goal Setting Template
Employee Goal Setting Template
Tailor the level of detail you capture to your employee's needs. A more senior or autonomous
employee will need less detail than a less experienced or less independent employee.
Write goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART).
Make sure that goals are achievable both individually and as a group. Assigning too many goals,
even though each one might be achievable on its own, sets the employee up for failure.
Start with the end result in mind and clearly identify how success will be measured.
Always link individual employee goals to the higher level organizational goals they are designed
to support, so the employee has a clear context for their work.
