There is a debate among a number of my HR colleagues that it is not possible to set SMART & measurable goals as HR professionals. I beg to differ and would appreciate you insights. |

Depends on what role you are playing. It can be setting measurable standard for recruiting time, measuring employee satisfaction, measuring lead time to answering queries, Accuracy of employee information, completeness of employee files etc depending on the role the HR person is playing |

A large part of working in Human Resources (HR) is regulating performance management. Creating a space where you and your employees can produce excellent work and perform to the best of your abilities is no easy task, but with the right strategies, you can make it work. Try These 6 Performance Management Strategies 1. Define and Communicate Company Goals and Performance Objectives Your employees cannot meet your performance expectations or company goals if they are not clearly outlined, making this our first step toward effective performance management. Sometimes employers are not as clear as they could be when outlining their goals or company objectives, and often, employees do not come forward to ask follow-up questions when they are confused or unclear about something. Preempt this pitfall by being as clear and communicative as you can possibly be. 2. Utilize Performance Management Software If you are not already using a performance management software, it may be time to consider trying it out. If you do already use one and it’s not saving you any time, your team complains about it, or it has low employee engagement, it may be obsolete and in need of an upgrade. Performance management software can really streamline your performance management strategies, making it imperative that you either begin using one or at least begin looking to upgrade. 3. Offer Frequent Performance Feedback While clearly communicating company and individual goals is an essential step for any business, communication alone is not going to get you all that far. Your managers will also need to check in with teams and employees periodically not only to gauge progress but also to provide feedback. 4. Use Peer Reviews Another great way to foster effective performance management is to utilize peer reviews, also known as 360-degree reviews. Again, this is a feature that can be found on most performance management software programs. Peer reviews are useful because they allow coworkers to praise other coworkers and highlight positive aspects of their performance, as well as point out where improvements can be made. 5. Preemptive Management and Recognition One way to guarantee results in the workplace is to implement rewards and practice preemptive management. This simply means that your employees always know what is expected of them so there is never any guesswork or need for consequences in the workplace. 6. Set Regular Meetings to Discuss Outcomes and Results Also known as progress reports or progress meetings, setting aside time to meet with your team and seeing how things are going with your set goals and objectives are important for meeting those goals and objectives. These meetings can be held weekly, monthly, or as often as you see fit. Ensure that your team knows that attendance is mandatory. This makes the progress feedback more accurate and allows you to make plans for moving forward. |

Goal setting is crucial today to thrive in the new business environment. Objectives and Key Results (OKR), a powerful management and goal-setting tool, is the game-changer. You would have heard of Intel's Operation Crush. When Intel was about to lose its market place to Motorola, it planned operation by implementing OKRs. The result was highly successful. Read the blog to learn how to implement OKR in your team to achieve the goals that may seem beyond your reach. https://www.synergita.com/blog/okr-playbook-how-to-implement-okr-in-your-team/ |
