Understanding the capabilities of our Goals feature is essential in rolling out this initiative at your organization effectively. This article will run through the basics of how Goals are set up in relation to visibility and their broader connection to performance and development within the platform.
This article covers:
Goal Visibility across your Business
-
Visibility for employees with no direct reports
By default, all employees will have access to create, edit, and delete their own goals on their employee profiles within the Goals tab.
Employees that do not have direct reports are unable to create goals for other employees but they are able to create a parent goal that can be aligned with other employees in the organization. For more information on Aligning Goals, click here.
When an employee assigns an aligned goal, an email notification will be sent to the employee to prompt the creation of their own goal.

Visibility for employees with direct reports
Employees with direct reports will be able to create, delete and view goals on their own profiles and their subordinate's profiles.
Supervisors can also select Business Units when creating goals which will enable them to assign the same goal(s) to multiple employees at once making it easier to align your department and organization on key goals, OKRs, and/or KPIs.
Please keep in mind, that if the business unit is selected, you can only create goals for yourself, or others you have permission for within the business unit.
Employees with direct reports are also granted access to a Team's Active Goals Overview tab that can be accessed from their intelliHR Dashboard. This area makes it easy for supervisors to manage their team's goal to increase opportunities for communication between your team.

Tracking Goal Performance

Goals within Performance Reports
Employees can be reviewed based on their goal performance on an individual basis by utilizing the Goals template located in the Employee Performance Report.
This feature will allow the supervisor to review the completion rate of assigned goals in real-time and keep tabs on the current status of goal measurements to aid in the completion of desired company objectives in a timely fashion.
