Learning is an essential part of any industry, and it is always advantageous to broaden your team's industry knowledge.
Fremont, CA: Setting goals is a critical responsibility for any business owner or manager. This also includes setting performance or development goals for your team. Employee performance goals that are aligned with your company's overall organizational goals are the most effective.
Here are a few examples of employee performance goals:
Visibility
A public relations campaign may generate 10,000 impressions in a short period of time, such as one month. Over the course of a year, 1,000 of those impressions would convert into new customers. If the campaign is run on Facebook, Facebook Ads Manager will make tracking the campaign's performance metrics simple.
Product Quality
In the short term, a candle-making company may be able to achieve the goal of making its candles 50 percent organic by sourcing cost-efficient ingredients and not raising prices. Going 100 percent organic while maintaining the same prices in the long term (one year) could be another goal.
Consider the resources that your employees may require to achieve these objectives. In this case, they would have to rely on third-party vendors, who might have difficulty communicating with them due to language barriers and conflicting time zones. You may also need to include a testing period to ensure that you can continue to produce a high-quality product with the new ingredients.
Professional Development
Learning is an essential part of any industry, and it is always advantageous to broaden your team's industry knowledge. Personal development objectives can be built around attending a certain number of development events per year, even if it is just one at first. Another common goal for professionals is to publish a paper or finish a continuing education course each year.
Productivity
A sales manager's short-term productivity goal might be to call 150 leads in one week. A long-term performance goal sample could be boarding 500 new leads per year.
