Performance goals enable employees to plan and organise their work in accordance with achieving predetermined results or outcomes. By setting and completing effective performance goals, employees are better able to:
-Develop job knowledge and skills that help them thrive in their work, take on additional responsibilities, or pursue their career aspirations;
-Support or advance the organisation’s vision, mission, values, principles, strategies, and goals;
-Collaborate with their colleagues with greater transparency and mutual understanding;
-Plan and implement successful projects and initiatives;
-Remain resilient when roadblocks arise and learn from these setbacks.
