As we Step Into Christmas, the goal setting window has opened, and whilst it may seem like 2000 miles away it’s the ideal opportunity to start considering what your focus should be moving forward into 2020 and The Greatest Gift of All is the opportunity to discuss and agree SMART goals with your Manager, and Let’s Start the New Year as we mean to go on.
Whilst there seems little chance of a White Christmas, and Rocking Around the Christmas Tree is going to be high on everyone’s priority list we hope the following will give you some top line guidance on getting those goals set before Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
1) Goals should be SMART (Smart, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound)
2) Goal setting should have a long-term (annual) and short-term (quarterly) focus
3) Set no more than five performance goals
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, and there are many things that need to be done before everyone goes Home for the Holidays, but to help you in setting goals for 2020, you have access to a number of resources:
- Manager and Employee QRG’s
- Year End Conversation and Goal Setting Guideline on The Bridge
- Video Tutorial
- Help from People Support, HRBP’s and Talent Team
We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
